Isn't that erm... kinda NDA covered stuff? I know there isn't a specific NDA as such, but I'm pretty sure that beta chats are *just* for beta chats Andre. Correct me if I'm totally wrong mind you.

Yes, you are totally wrong. ;) I asked if this could be posted to our blogs and permission was granted. You need to start coming to the chats. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm

You know why I think we don't have a strict NDA for this test?

I think Microsoft finally realized information will leak and they decided that if they let us freely discus the features and show screenshots it will bring in more sales. This is good marketing sense if you ask me.

Actually I think Microsoft just wants to be more open in general, its not really about it will be leaked anyway. They want us the consumers and businesses to have a greater say in how their products are developed, thats why they introduce things like customer chats and CTPs, its really a defining move that can only make things better. :) -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm
