Curiosities: 12 years of integration – Happy Birthday BizTalk

Posted: December 12, 2012  |  Categories: BizTalk

Some people say that according to the Mayan calendar, the Mayan fifth world finished in 1987 and the sixth world starts in 2012, so we are currently “between worlds” and this time is called the “Apocalypse” or revealing. Mayans also say that in 2012 (again according to some peoples):

  • We will have gone beyond technology as we know it.
  • Planet Earth and the Solar System will come into galactic synchronization with the rest of the Universe.
  • Our DNA will be “upgraded” (reprogrammed) from the center of our galaxy. (Hunab Ku)

Well, I don’t know anything about the solar system, Mayan calendar or if our DNA will be upgraded…

What I know is that BizTalk Server DNA is being upgraded and that today is a special day… today is the twelfth anniversary of the product… Happy 12th birthday BizTalk Server!
