So the question is: what kind of support is there for the ‘brave’ people ? ☺

Jim Lamb is really the man in this space but last I heard Beta1 will NOT have an upgrade path to Beta2. Beta2, if it comes out with a Go Live (yes this is the plan), will have an upgrade path to RTM. As far as people putting Beta1 into live infrastructure I totally agree I wouldn’t do it; But I know some are considering it and a pretty normal scenario is to have a virtualized “copy” of the live environment and integrating a Beta there would be risk free. …I won’t name names but I had a house guest (on this list) stay w/ me on the Gold Coast that was able to run the entire Westpac Data center in 3 VM’s from his laptop while fishing from my backyard! Thanks again everybody for all the information Looks like I have: 1. Minority of respondents plan on only doing only green field exploratory examinations 2. The majority plan on doing some sort of upgrade activities but in a sandbox with green field forays for education and presentations (you can tell there are a bunch of Readify boys on the list<g>) 3. A couple VERY brave souls that plan on dropping it on real servers and figuring out where the wheels fall off.

Hi Chuck, Definitely a fresh install sandbox for playing with/exploring features. I’m also likely to do different upgrades from TFS2008 sandboxes, since the upgrade experience for a number of people from ’05 to ’08 was less than stellar. Is the plan for Beta 1 to be upgradable to beta2->RC-> full release whenever they become available? Also since beta 1 won’t have a go-live license there’s little chance I’d put it into existing infrastructure, and so there’d be no testing of multi-server installs.

Hello, As we get closer to getting builds ready for Beta1 it begs the question how do you envision yourself using this beta? I see two primary scenarios: 1. A fresh install where you explore the new features from an isolated sandbox. 2. An installation integrated into your infrastructure/AD so you can upgrade existing projects and tools –then looking at the new features from those projects. Please feel free to include scenarios I may have missed Thanks, Chuck PS I believe this has been covered on the alias before but Beta1 will not have a go live license ________________________________ Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subscribe: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Unsubscribe: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/oztfs Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists ________________________________ Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subscribe: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Unsubscribe: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/oztfs Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists ________________________________ Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subscribe: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Unsubscribe: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/oztfs 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/oztfs Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists
