Looking forward to the Beta

I like to keep up to date on the latest and greatest coming out of Microsoft.  A while back I had the opportunity to play with some Alpha releases of Whidbey.  Although it was fun to get an early look at some of the stuff coming out in the next release I felt that from now on I would wait until at least Beta 1.  This probably puts me a little further back in regards to getting a hand on feel for all the cool stuff coming, but I don't have much other choice.  I spend a lot of my “free” time doing side projects for all sorts of different clients.  Most of the projects are pretty small but they do allow me to bring in a little bit of extra cash flow which never hurts.  Since I certainly can't use an Alpha for these side projects it's extremely difficult for me to spend much time mucking around with all the new features.  Needless to say I'm looking forward to a Beta that has a Go Live license so I can start using Generics and all the other cool features in Whidbey.  Since Beta 1 is closer to that all important go live license I might be able to justify a little time playing.  Either that or I need to figure out how to get on the team Craig is on for the MSDN “project.”
