Anyone tried XP SP2 post RC2 build 2162 ??
I'm on the beta "Jupiter". beta.microsoft.com. I was one of the earliest
beta testers. You think I'm "out of the loop" or that I think I'm a cool beta tester because I downloaded a publicly available service pack when in fact I've been testing Lonestar and the SDK since it was first available. I've had lunch with the Tablet PC developers. So I very much consider myself a beta tester. You seem to be missing my point. There is no NDA. It's a EULA. I didn't sign anything. I clicked an "agree" button. And the terms that I agreed to don't prohibit me from talking about it in this group so long as I am not publicly divulging previously undisclosed features -- of which there are none. How did you guys become MVP's anyway? You're not very helpful. -- Josh Einstein Einstein Technologies -------------------------------------------------------- Add ink input to Outlook with Tablet Enhancements for Outlook!

They are two different programs with two different purposes. If you have no NDA, you are not part of the Beta. The Technical Preview currently has offered RC 1 & RC 2 of SP 2. That does not make you a Beta tester. You and your organization may consider you a Beta tester but that would be strictly internal to you. To use the two different terms here as if they are synonymous when they are not does nothing but add to the confusion. Since you seem to lack the knowledge of the difference it seems you are on the Technical Preview as all Beta testers would clearly know and distinguish the difference. To clarify, exactly how did you become involved with the Beta/Technical Preview and to what extent? -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ "Josh Einstein" wrote in message ... 1) I said Lonestar, not Longhorn. Lonestar was being actively discussed including the new TIP, new SDK, etc in these newsgroups for months. 2) Don't confuse a EULA with a NDA. They are two different things entirely. NDA's are legally binding, EULAs are not. The worst that can happen with a EULA is your software license is terminated. 3) The provision in the EULA for non-disclosure is about new features. Since SP2 was feature complete by the first RC, we are all at liberty to talk about any version. 4) I never said I was not in the beta newsgroups. I simply said I'm not prohibited from talking about it on here. I have been on the beta, technical preview whatever you want to call it since it was first available to those outside Microsoft. I am not talking about the public beta. -- Josh Einstein Einstein Technologies |
