Today has been less hard day, we hasn't had "guru" speach and all the day (for me) has been focused on BizTalk sessions which has been enougth to verify that there aren't realy big changes between BizTalk 2004 and 2006.

The main improvements in the core engine of BizTalk 2006 are: ordered processing, new capabilities to process messages in same order that they came; subscriptions to failed messages, allowing manage messages failures successfully; pipeline calls within orchestrations; and the new POP3 adapter... at least, the session covering these aspects has been great!

I have attended the BAM session to see a lots new improvements but only a really cool thing I have found, new sources (context properties, ports) for the Tracking Profile Editor, I don't think it isn't very important improvement, but a new BAM Manager tool, not the same command line, would be interesting too...

To end, a very important Scott Woodgate announcement, he has said that BizTalk 2006 will come with testing features to aid the developers... He doesn't explained which features but I will look forward his blog to be up to date about this matter.

Tomorrow the last day!!!
