Windows SDK January CTP/February CTP plans

The Windows SDK team is closing on the January CTP release early next week, and we're planning on it being live early the following week. This is a small supplemental release, with the only major updates being some new Windows Workflow Foundation and Windows Communications Foundation content.

February CTP will be our next major release. Expect it to be posted to the web in about 5 or 6 weeks. This SDK will contain some more major changes. The key changes from my standpoint as setup PM are that we are planning on posting a web download (no more having to download an ISO - though that option will still be available), and custom install options will also be available. We're aware that not having those options available for the December CTP has been ugly, and we're on target for the dev work to be complete on this for February.

We're also going to ship the Server 2003 R2 SDK in between the January and February releases.

And we're working on helping resolve these install issues that I posted about yesterday.

Please give me feedback if you have questions. I read every comment, and I'm also planning on posting more in the new year.
