Hmm...
YUKON_IDW15 is CompatWith VS8_B2; yet VS8_B2 is only CompatWith YUKON_IDW14.
Non-commutative compatibility ? What gives ? Or maybe this implies a required installation order ?

Cheers,

Come off it. Which pettifogging marketer wrote that rubbish? In what way are the CTP's real-time?

One of my computers runs non-Microsoft software which gets perhaps 10Mb of binary updates per day in real-time software releases. The CTP's pale into insignificance in comparison.

While the CTP's are certainly Technology Previews, it stretches the boundaries somewhat to class them as anything related to a Community. I hope that Daniel Robbins is able to help Microsoft understand the distinction.

Thanks for your feedback Richard. Actually I wrote that text this weekend and believe me I am no marketing guy ;-)…

While I agree we are not at the point where we are releasing daily builds out to the public, Microsoft has come a LONG way… getting so many interim builds out has been a huge culture change internally.. I am not sure most of our customers actually want CTPs any more frequently than we are doing them…

That said, I am open to feedback.. let us know how we can do better!
