@Barry, It's hard to gauge as Flex4 is a framework where as Silverlight3 is a runtime? I know we do have similar techniques to approaching early adopters and Adobe in the past have been pretty good with their customers in inviting them on a 1:1 basis. This is usually based off the level of input a particular customer had in the last beta cycle or they've caught wind that you're doing something special that could benefit the beta cycle through your ongoing testing etc.
We pretty much do the same and at times will bring folks into campus for an SDR (basically a $100 spend Q&A session) so that we can gauge our approach to release but also beyond release - catch is you have to find your own way to campus ;) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Barry Beattie Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2009 1:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Blend 3 @Scott mate, this isn't a dig at MS or flag waving for Flex, just a genuine question, mostly for curiousity... your views on what you see the differences are between SL3 and Flex4 beta cycles and their early adopters ... (to pick out two product cycles that you know _something_ about) much difference? or mostly the same ('cos it's the same pain, same outcomes)? cheers barry.b -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/ozsilverlight Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/ozsilverlight Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists
