I'm sorry but I have to disagree, these NG are not about finding
information, it's about finding help on the topic of the NG, the forums are
set-up especially to help people with Beta issues, the forums are monitored
by MSFT employees looking for Whidbey issues, while these NG's are not.
Moreover, if you have bad experiences with a product which is in beta, you
need to file an issue at lab.msdn.microsoft.com, that way you will help the
community and MSFT much more than starting a thread that goes like this,
.... I have no problems, ... I had the same issue, this is M$FT crap...
I don't mind to discuss concrete beta issues here as long as they are more
or less on topic, so let's say general C# issues, what OP posted here is
about VS project migration, so at least he could have posted to the VS NG's.
