I'm too excited about the new features in 2.0. I'm think about installing
beta 2 to my live production server.

Is there going to be any problems running .net framework 2.0 beta 2 on a
production web server? security issues? compatibility with existing com,
..net 1.0, 1.1 apps?

Do you guys know of any high profiles thats running .net 2 beta 2?

What is the expected release date of the final version?

Thanks in advance,
Aaron

I peronally would not expect the final release to be any earlier than
September. There are several companies now offering 2.0 Hosting one BETAII
to allow people to get ready.

I think you are playing a dangerous game by putting it on your production
server, there is allways a danger that features may be dropped from the
final release, Microsoft are at liberty to do this if they deem it needed.

Resist the temptation to put beta software on a mission critical production
server.
You're asking for problems. Don't you have enough problems as it is?
I suggest you use a separate server for ASP.NET 2.0 so you isolate any
problems that you (will) encounter.

The expected release date is Mid November, 2005.

I think the main issue about putting a "still beta" Framework on a
production server is whether or not it will cleanly uninstall when RTM comes
out. As long as it does, you should have no issues.

At least, my hosting company doesn't seem to be worried.

So far, I have not had any problem with this issue. However, as a general
rule, the other posters are quite correct.

So, good things come to all who can wait....

BTW, that's a lot of newsgroups you've posted this to. How about maybe, one
or two?

FYI: beta2 can be used with a 'go live licence' in production. You can sign
it @ http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/golive/ (theres some details about
the levels of support and a good link to api's that will be obsoleted for
the final release)
