Microsoft ships .Net server software

Microsoft has begun shipping its Application Center 2000 server software, which is designed to manage and help scale out Web applications running on Windows 2000. Microsoft released App Center 2000--the last of its Windows 2000 .Net servers to ship--to manufacturing last month. App Center 2000 includes a number of middleware infrastructure components--such as Microsoft's object plumbing, data-access components, message-queuing and component load-balancing technologies--in a single bundle. Microsoft made the announcement at the Internet World trade show in Los Angeles.
