.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / General / November 2004Any word on Whidbey Beta 2?
Some bloggers mentioned that Whidbey Beta 2 is being wrapped up... can we (MSDN subscribers) expect it before the end of the year? I'm planning to get started with C# 2.0 soon but I won't bother to install Beta 1 if the next update is right around the corner. Thanks!  Signaturehttp://www.kynosarges.de I may have read the tea leaves wrong but reading blogs also indicates that Beta 2 with a go-live license may be released by the end of this year. IMO you should also check out some webcasts as there are many changes and important issues to be learned that will save you hours of sitting around without a clue.

If you carefully read ScottGu's blog, particularly http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2004/10/23/246709.aspx And http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2004/11/14/257314.aspx You'll see that after we hit ZBB, which happened 11/14, we begin security push that takes 4-6 weeks and after that we'll enter final Beta 2 shipping phase. So there is no way Whidbey B2 will ship by the end of the year. Thanks Mikhail Arkhipov (Microsoft) -- This post is provided 'AS IS' with no warranties and confers no rights.

That's too bad... but thanks for the news. Signaturehttp://www.kynosarges.de Fine with me but last time I looked at a calendar 4 weeks after November 14th is within days of December 14th leaving another 2 weeks to the end of the year and most grade schools teachers tell us that 4 weeks plus 2 weeks equals 6 weeks which when counting in anticipation is close enough to mean around the end of the year. That's probably a whole lot more timely than the Q2 estimates others have surmised. Regardless, I'd rather see a stable release and I can wait.

Web.NET & tools hit ZBB 11/14, but it does not mean every team in VS division did the same ;-) Btw ZBB date does not mean zero bugs. It means we have no bugs older than 48 hours in our database. In order to ship B2 we need to have zero bugs of any age (we may have some postponed to RTM phase). Therefore after security work is done there will be more bug fixing. After that QA will have to perform final test pass and then verify actual media and Web downloads of various versions.
