Overview: BizTalk Server 2004, Microsoft's third try at an integration server for bridging business processes internally and between companies, was a charm. But there's more under the hood than you might be aware of—we list 10 for you.

Integrated with Visual Studio .NET 2003 and leveraging XML as its data transport backbone, BizTalk 2004 is Microsoft's most powerful offering yet as the company continues to make a serious foray into enterprise integration.
