Hi, Is there going to be a BETA version of BDS with BCB *free to download* like Microsoft did with VS.NET 2005? -- Best regards, Vladimir Stefanovic Back to top Rudy Velthuis [TeamB] Guest Posted: Sat Sep 10, 2005 8:39 am    Post subject: Re: Is there going to be a BETA of BDS with BCB... ?

Borland haven't done a PUBLIC beta of their major products yet, so I doubt that. Usually, there is a trial version, some time after the release of the commmercial product. -- Rudy Velthuis [TeamB] http://velthuis.homepage.t-online.de "Everything has been figured out, except how to live." - Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) Back to top Vladimir Stefanovic Guest Posted: Sat Sep 10, 2005 8:44 am    Post subject: Re: Is there going to be a BETA of BDS with BCB... ?

I saw the word PUBLIC in your answer, so I'm interested who are the chosen once if it's not impolite to ask?

It is probably safe to assume they have beta-testers. TeamB is a group of approx. 30 people (didn't count, just my guess), and only a few of them use C++, so one can assume there must be a few more testers than just TeamB members. -- Rudy Velthuis [TeamB] http://velthuis.homepage.t-online.de "If FORTRAN has been called an infantile disorder, then PL/I must be classified as a fatal disease." -- Edsger Dijkstra Back to top Vladimir Stefanovic Guest Posted: Sat Sep 10, 2005 9:20 am    Post subject: Re: Is there going to be a BETA of BDS with BCB... ?

I don't know how Borland select beta testers, but I believe they look for a good variety of users who will (hopefully) stress the entire product between them. If you think you will make a good beta tester, I recommend writing an email to Developer Relations, John Kaster or Anders Olsen would probably be best, explaining exactly why you would make a good tester. John has certainly encouraged interested testers do this in the past, so I presume it works <g> Or rather, at least some testers will be accepted this way. I believe 'early access' to products is also one of the advantages of the Borland Technical Parter program, although as an in-house developer I don't qualify for the program so don't know much more about it.

Quote: If you think you will make a good beta tester, I recommend writing an email to Developer Relations, John Kaster or Anders Olsen would probably be best, explaining exactly why you would make a good tester. Ok, thanks. In fact, I myself don't think I can offer too much to Borland in that (although I had some experience in beta testing with some other products). I beleave that Borland already has it's 'winning' team for BETA testing. Recently, I have written an article in the most popular PC magazine in my country about the announcement of new BCB within Delphi (based on Live-Chat and on the videos that were published in BDN), so I just wanted to see something 'palpably' for my next text, because there were already some articles about MS VS2005 BETA. -- Best regards, Vladimir Stefanovic Back to top Kenneth de Camargo Guest Posted: Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:48 pm    Post subject: Re: Is there going to be a BETA of BDS with BCB... ?

In that case I would definitely contact somone on Developer Relations and see if there is anything further they can tell you. Maybe you can get an exclusive and some more information for the rest of us ;?)
