http://blogs.msdn.com/b/markcli/archive/2004/01/15/59202.aspxRobert Scoble's blog asked the &#8220;how do I get the Whidbey beta?&#8221; question. I can't answer that yet, but I can tell you about the direction we're headed in for betas in the Tools division. There are 3 areas that we want to improve: - broaden-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/markcli/archive/2004/01/15/59202.aspx#107108Sat, 03 Apr 2004 21:06:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:107108VasyaAs well be hanged for a sheep as for a lamb.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=107108" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/markcli/archive/2004/01/15/59202.aspx#79516Wed, 25 Feb 2004 03:22:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:79516Chris Garty's Weblog<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=79516" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/markcli/archive/2004/01/15/59202.aspx#79374Tue, 24 Feb 2004 23:32:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:79374Chris Garty's Weblog<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=79374" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/markcli/archive/2004/01/15/59202.aspx#78371Mon, 23 Feb 2004 18:32:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:78371Riding Herd<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=78371" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/markcli/archive/2004/01/15/59202.aspx#78136Mon, 23 Feb 2004 05:16:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:78136jaybaz_MS's WebLog<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=78136" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/markcli/archive/2004/01/15/59202.aspx#78037Mon, 23 Feb 2004 00:13:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:78037jaybaz_MS's WebLog<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=78037" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/markcli/archive/2004/01/15/59202.aspx#65364Sat, 31 Jan 2004 04:20:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:65364Mark CliggettSorry, I missed the question on whitehorse/burton earlier. What are whitehorse and burton? :-) I'll answer this question more generally. Over time we want every customer to have good visibility into our development process, regardless of what features/sku/product they are using. It may be appropriate to do drops more or less frequently depending upon the customer segment , but the general view here is that we should make things available more often - that puts customers in control of how often they pick them up. <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=65364" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/markcli/archive/2004/01/15/59202.aspx#59427Fri, 16 Jan 2004 19:53:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:59427glenn cameronMark, how does your drop proccess change for the (i assume) less frequent drops of the whitehorse/burton (SOA) capabs/functionality?
