You may have read some of my previous posts about my shame around the job we have done servicing and providing patches for TFS 2005.  We’ve had problems both with timeliness and reliability of patches.  I promised that we would not let that happen again for TFS 2008.  I intend to keep that promise.  We’ve been working hard on servicing for months now.  Today, we have the first visible result of that effort.  We are releasing a first round of 6 patches that can be applied against TFS 2008 Beta 2 client and server installs.  These patches fix real bugs Beta 2 but not all of them are ones that are critical enough that we would normally release patches for them.  Our primary goal here is to practice producing patches for the product so that by the time we ship we’ve worked out all the kinks and can do it smoothly and quickly when an real need to patch the product arises.<\/p>\n
