CTP -eq Alpha

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 20:22:29 GMT

Remind me again why you're using a term that requires you to write a full page blog post explaining it, instead of using the generally accepted "Alpha" release?

Jeffrey,

A lot of us have been burned by various programs not uninstalling properly. People that installed .NET Framework betas and then tools based on them basically painted themselves in the corner if they made a mistake and uninstalled the beta before uninstalling tools.

So: If we install PS 2.0 CTP on a production box, will we be able to uninstall it cleanly and will it live side-by-side with various betas and the final version?

I'm not asking for a CYA answer or a guarantee, just whether you'd let your friend do it?

Thanks,

Dejan

Excellent question with no excellent answer: "Fashion"

Agile Approach?

Srikar — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 20:34:37 GMT

Can we call CTP as a fruit of Agile (scrum) approach of doing frequent builds and releases to provide a product that the user really wants or likes. Since you guys also seem to be in to making developers write a suite of regression testing and even the simultaneous documentation instead of upfront documentation styles suggest to me that you guys are following a thorough agile approach..

Please clarify.

dejan,

I wouldn't recommend it on a prouction box, and i think that ctp's and even betas are not meant to be put on production box's per the nitty gritty's of the MS EULAs

Squirrels? in my shirt? Impossible: I code shirtless. Even if it was a CTPP, or CTPPP, I'd still install it and kick the tires clean off.

re Dejan's question: When I first installed V2, I got some weird errors, But after removing V2, and reistalling V1 those errors disappeared. Subsequently, de-installed V1 to move back to V2CTP. All the 3rd party tools seem to work. It seems stable!

If my friend said "cool" when he read Jeffrey's posts, then yes, I'd let him play!

If one desired solely to anticipate, then explore and then extend one's understanding of CTP PS 2.0 in a Vista environment ... What would you recommend as a minimal laptop setup ?

Thanx

I can't believe that there have been all these comments and no one has pointed out the != is invalid syntax and the title should be:
