Startersite Availablity
Everyone has been asking about when the Startersite will be available. Ryan has posted the Startersite availablility here!
Basically, a CTP (Community Technology Preview) version will be posted around August 25th and available through the Microsot Connect website for download. To reiterate Ryan's post, this is NOT for production use but is code/feature complete.
The Official release will occur in October 2006 timeframe, which will be production ready.
Be sure to stay tuned to Ryan's blog on the specifics of the CTP release next week!
Hope this clears things up!
