Whiney weenie lol. Yes I see how my comment could be read as whiney.
If you will permit me to restate:
I would love to participate. I love giving feedback. But if participating requires deploying pre-release code into my "production" environment then I'll need more incentive that I can use to sway my executives to agree to the risk.
And so the reason that I post feedback at all is to let MS know that they are missing an opportunity for feedback because they "free stuff" isn't there. My frustration in the fact that I could not participate in this program resulted in my wording as a whiney weenie. A lesson learned...
Were it a chance to comment on the new version in a non-production environment, then I'd be all over it.
Odin thanks for note.
