Whidbey


Hi,

Is it already possible to work on Whidbey. I have read that some Technology Preview programs exist, but I was not able to determine who has access to this program. When will a Beta version be available to anyone?

Thanks.
Mike

I believe anyone with a Universal MSDN has access to the Community
Technology Preview.

You can download the March and May Community Technology Previews from MSDN,
if you have a subscription. If you don't, you will have to wait for the
public beta, which should be some time in late June or early July, according
to the last rumors I have heard.

And you may be better off waiting. From what I have read, the Community
Technology Previews are not QA'd they are just the recent builds whereas
the betas are QA'd and many bugs have been removed.
