CTPs, Betas, and RCs - Oh My !

With Microsoft's new approach of "openness", publicly releasing frequent technology previews, betas, and interim builds (CTPs - Community Technology Previews), it takes alot of time (and dis space!) to keep abreast of it all.   In fact, everyone should really evaluate if and when it makes sense to stay on the "bleeding edge".

Mary Jo Foley of Microsoft Watch recently did a nice piece that explores this issue - and my 2 cents was quoted as well.   

How do you feel and manager all of these non-production releases ?  Leave me a comment telling me how.

  • I love this MS approach, a good sign of how important are developer's feedbacks for Microsoft. However, it's obvious that you can't install and try every CTP that is out. Personally, I usually install betas and not every CTP. When a big improvement is done from your previous installed version, now is the time for a new installation I think.
