Sorry for the late status post - last Friday was quite a rush.

We entered last week with ~50 Beta2 bugs. We've had this number for the past two weeks, so Jay and I decided to start beating the drums to get our counts down. Teams rose to the challenge magnificently and brought a number of bugs to us for approval to checkin. We made a couple of compiler fixes (that a Ladybug customer reported) that we thought were important to get the language straight. We took fixes to a technology that allows us to get customer data from you all - this helps us improve and tune the RTM settings. Overall I feel good about the product bugs we took.

Our team also drove performance fixes for F5 scenarios into the product. They've spent the last 2 weeks or so, looking at the product in every way possible to squeeze out a faster F5 for Beta2. They've done a good job in getting it down.

This week, we will start getting our team focused towards RTM bugs. We are also preparing for a Product Unit Review with the release team. These reviews are great - they ask what your plan for RTM is, how you plan to ship a quality product, how your QA is doing...generally getting you on the right path for shutting down your product. Its funny - the actual review goes well, but the hell involved in preparing for it (planning, getting signoff from managers) is awesome in getting your Product Unit (in my case C#) lined up for the goal of shipping a great product.

This weekend was also filled with me checking out a bunch of pretty large computer stores for FM tuner cards. Disappointingly most of the people working at the bigger chains had no idea what I was talking about. My Media center supposedly supports it, but Dell just confirmed that my nvidia GeForce 6800 doesnt have this feature. Sigh. I need to search for dedicated hardware for this.

I'm also an avid guitar player and I just got a guitarport (https://www.guitarport.com/). I get home, rip open the packaging and the software CD was missing. Gah. I hope to return it tonight.

    I'm just wondering how responsive that guitarport is. I looked at their website and I see there is a hardware thingie, but I'm not sure if the software effects boxes will have some small delay in the response.

    Related to the C# side of your post... :)

    Do you plan to address the availability of Beta2 via an ordering process (a la http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/get/order/default.aspx)? This wasn't in place untill well after Beta1 was released and once it was it took a while to actually get the order delivered. It would be nice to see this available from the start of Beta2.
