New Windows Product is GA! (by Bob Williamson)

The Windows team completed final testing on the new version5 product yesterday and today we announced GA.  Yeah! and congratulations to the team who worked very hard to accomplish this major release.  You can read all about the features in the press release at:  http://www.steeleye.com/news/press_releases/060205.html

Our final test phase always includes placing the Release Candidate bits onto our corporate IT servers to perform what we call "Feature Audit".  No matter how good your test lab emulation procedures are, you just cannot replicate all of the environmental factors of a live production environment.  So, we go into production prior to GA as a final sanity check.  If it's good enough for our customers, it's gotta be good enough for us as well.   Our corporate Exchange server has been running v5 for a couple of weeks and all is well.
