Keeping your Repositories Straight

As the XP Embedded product has evolved into more and more versions over its lifetime I find that it can sometimes be somewhat of a challenge to remember which repository GUID belongs to which version of the product. This can be important when you are trying to track down a particular version of a file. Now with the release of Feature Preview 2008 (and its additional repository GUIDs) I thought this would be a good time for a refresher.

Be sure to register at the Connect site and send us feedback on FP2008. This Preview is only scheduled to run for a month so we would really like to get your input sooner rather than later so we have time to review your feedback and make changes to the product before our final release. We will always welcome your feedback, but please keep in mind that once the Preview period is over, we may only be able to incorporate feature suggestions and bug fixes into future versions of the product.
