CTP vs Beta

When the Vs. NET 2005 series products reach the stable stage, many builds have been developed.

Currently, we can see two types.

CTP (Community Technology Preview)CommunityPreview version. This is actually the worst stable version. After build, there is basically no strict test.

Beta is actually relatively stable. At the very least, we should perform a rigorous test. Of course, there must be a lot of bugs that have not been fixed yet.

These two versions are actually prerelease, MS In addition to collecting feedback, generally not technical support.

At present, the product VS 2005 has many components, so we can still get the CTP version.

The following is a list:

1. Visual Studio 2005 team development system.

The latest version is the CTP version in March December. people who have used it all know that the installation is successful and difficult. If your environment is slightly different from the environment, for example, you have to use the time zone and language version :)

2. Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition

The latest version is the CTP version. NET Framework Version 2.0.50110 in March. It seems that there was a beta1 last year, and beta2 does not know when it will come out.

3. Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition

The latest version is last November.
