Microsoft has launched the latest version of its web server platform, Commerce Server 2002.

The product boasts a host of new features as well as full compatibility with the .Net framework and Microsoft's developer platform, Visual Studio .Net.

It is aimed at businesses looking to build transaction-based websites for all kinds of ecommerce applications, and comes in two different editions. The Standard Edition will cost £4,777 per processor but can only scale up to two processors.

For larger implementations, the Enterprise Edition costs a more substantial £13,650 per processor. The platform only works alongside a SQL database.

It enables greater ease of development than earlier versions, by integration with Visual Studio.

Donna Warburton, marketing manager at Microsoft said: "This is an important step as it brings the commerce server into line with the .Net framework, part of a continuing process to make the .Net vision a straightforward reality."
