Hi,

The word is that Dublin will ship "a few months" after .NET 4.0.

The first CTP of Dublin was made at PDC in October 2008, I'd guess beta 1 will be the next drop.

There has been no word on beta release dates yet, but I'd guess that the Dublin beta will be shortly after the .NET 4.0 betas. I dont think the .NET 4.0 beta 1 date has been announced, there's a chnce they may say something at MIX this week.

Regards,

Alan

Thanks Philippe and Alan for your posts.  The Dublin project is in fact following the .NET 4.0 project by a few months.  However, we are in the midst of our final planned coding milestone now and all I can say is that we are working hard to have a broad public release at or before the PDC this year.  There are no planned announcements for Dublin at MIX this year either.  I hope that helps with your planning and we sincerely appreciate your interest in our project.  We are excited about making our efforts available to you asap.
