Microsoft offerings within Management of Services

I asked a couple of experts on the PDC OpenSpace on what they offer in terms of management, staging, versioning etc. of Services and service endpoints.

My impressions from the answers they had was that they point to 3rd party vendors for tooling around governance/management. SOA Software and AmberPoint was mentioned.

The "Dublin" product will cover runtime management of services hosted on Microsoft platforms (Sevrices implemented with WCF running on IIS7).

They mentioned that something may appear in future evolvement around "Oslo", but no roadmap seems to exist in this area. No one I talked to had heard about MSE..
