1) The long range vision of Microsoft is to build tighter integration
across the Windows Server Sysetm products regardless of Microsoft
orgnizational structure. There is also a long range vision to provide
customers a common portal architecture. Therefore, we will indeed continue
to focus on integration between the two products.. After the next version
of CMS, CS will have better and better integration with it.
2) We will continue to advance the integration with CS and VS. As it
is today CS is right inside the VS IDE for ease of development.
3) As statecd above in answer (1) - the vision to have a common
portal architecture and tighter integration across WSS products will also
involve integration between CS and SharePoint in the future. In Whidbey,
all custom controls can be Web parts. The scenario you describe (Commerce
Server Cart Web part) is absolutely possible.

Some questions for you:
1) It is my understanding that MSIB will continue to be supported, but is
certainly not part of the long range vision within Microsoft. In other
words, we should not expect a continued emphasis on integration between
Commerce Server and CMS For instance, I am aware that CMS was moved into
the Office Group because MS was receiving much more interest in integration
with SPS than with Commerce Server. Can you validate these claims?
2) Can you provide some insight into how Visual Studio 2005 and Commerce
Server 2005 will play together?
3) Can you provide some insight into how Commerce Server and Sharepoint
will integrate, if at all in the future. The reason I ask is that it is my
current assumption that the "Web Part" concept will be exteneded to all of
the enterprise servers that have a WinForm or WebForm facing UI. My current
client was hoping to build some reusable web parts that could be consumed
by various applications. Hopefully, there would be the ability to create
something like a "Cart" web part that could consume Commerce Server API's
somehow. Hope this makes sense. Please be as wordy as possible as we are in
the midst of some major technology decisions.
