All this week I have been covering about the Microsoft PDC, that took place in LA, giving us insights about future of Microsoft’s vision and details about many platforms, products and services to be delivered by the software behemoth.

Well here are a few codenames I’d like you to know about:

Huron: “Huron” is a “cloud-based data hub” that is another of Microsoft’s newly unveiled SQL Services Labs projects.  Huron relies on the Sync Framework and SQL Services (formerly known as SQL Server Data Services) to publish databases, reports, forms and objects to the cloud, back-up and restore database apps to the cloud, and more.

Anchorage: “Anchorage” is Microsoft SyncToy Version 2, which will be part of Sync Framework Version 2. Anchorage was mentioned during a PDC presentation on the Sync Framework Version 2 release.

Paris: “Paris” is part of Microsoft’s Office Communications Server family of products. Microsoft is in the midst of private testing of Office Communications Server Release 2 (R2), the next version of its integrated VOIP/conferencing/instant messaging product for business users.

Mojave: “Mojave” is the release of Microsoft Commerce Server, which the company detailed at the PDC this week.The Commerce Server Mojave release includes a “multi-channel” foundation, out of the box shopping (with Live and SharePoint integration, and an Office-like interface. Commerce Server Mojave has been out in CTP test-build form since August of this year. The final version is due out in Q1 2009.
