Help a code monkey out...

.NET

Fellow developers, I need a little help. I was reading this post about the rough release schedule for the Whidbey beta, and it's troubling.

Here's the thing... I'm writing an ASP.NET book targeting mid-level developers, the people who have transitioned away from script development but haven't yet made the leap to grand, object-oriented, tiered development. The problem is that there are a few areas I need to cover if anyone will pick this book up to publish, and naturally these areas are all in Whidbey. I can't easily talk about that which I haven't spent some time with. :)

Can someone get me on the “A” list so I can get the bits? I tried Redmond but keep getting bounced around to different people, none of which are the “right” people.

You should be able to pick up a copy of a Post-PDC/Pre-public beta build at DevDays.

Not quite. [Unless something has changed in the last few weeks,] DevDays is PDC bits! I asked the person who was responsible for arranging for the bits to be distributed and was told it's the same as PDC.

It is the same as the PDC.

I have read in at least 2 places that it was going to be a newer version.
