Now that Visual Studio 2010 / .NET 4 beta2 is out for MSDN subscribers, I got a few questions. This has probably been covered elsewhere but I am listing it here separately.
Our goal is to provide you RIA Services drops at PDC that cover the following two combinations:
1. Beta: this will support VS 2008, .NET 3.5 SP1. Those who want to go live should be using this drop.
2. Very early preview: this will support VS 2010, .NET 4 beta2. This is NOT for going live - just for test driving and giving us feedback. This will have a superset of the features of #1 above (e.g. inheritance, better tooling) - many of them hot off the
developers' machines without having withstood all the "quality gates".
Separately, we have two RIA Services talks planned - Brad Abrams will be doing an overview and I will be doing a deep dive talk (400 level) that builds on the overview.
After PDC, we will be taking the VS 2010 / .NET 4 drop and working further on fundamentals to take it to RTW.
This is great information. Last week I did a talk on Silverlight, covering some parts of RIA as well. I guessed the future for RIA would look similar to what you tell us.
Excellent plan of execution. This provides us a solid Go-Live version to get an early version out (of our products) and this will give time to the team for their phase II. Thanks and talk to you Friday!
You will have to pick one of the two - either RTM combo (VS 2008, .NET 3.5 SP1) or the beta2 combo and use the applicable drop. Mix and match while interesting are not supported to keep the matrix sane for us and for users.

Along the same lines, you would need to use a VM to try both RIA Services drops on the same machine. They are not side-by-side.

Will these two versions be able to run side by side? This way we can develop for prodcution in 2008, while testing out the 2010 beta version.
