BizTalk Server 2004 Unleashed

It has taken a long time, but the first book on BizTalk 2004 is finally out.  It is written by Scott Woodgate, et. al.  If there is anyone that knows BizTalk, it's Scott.  He has been running the product team since I was at Microsoft back in 2000! 

I got my copy from Amazon last week and what I have read so far is great.  For anyone interested in getting up to speed on BizTalk or looking for a good reference, this is highly recommended.

HIPAA Accelerator 3.0 goes to RTM

I have received word (from someone who knows) that the HIPAA Accelerator really did go to RTM around the first of October.  It should reach GA (General Availability) around mid-Nov to mid-Dec sometime.

HIPAA Accelerator Rumor

I have heard that the long-delayed HIPAA Accelerator for BizTalk 2004 (version 3.0) may finally be going to RTM today.  Has anyone else heard anything official?
