Do you recommend people deploy production systems built upon the beta
ASP .NET 2.0 releases? I hope not. It's called 'beta' for a reason.

Borland is will be very aggressive on supporting the .NET 2.0 platform
when it is available. .NET 2.0 isn't ready yet, so we are focusing our
short-term efforts on production systems (.NET 1.1 and Win32) while we
proceed with long-term research and development in preparation for full
.NET 2.0 support.

Borland is actively engaged with Microsoft on .NET 2.0 development, and
has been for more than a year now. We can't afford the support costs
to redeliver our entire tool chain to paying customers every time a new
beta platform release comes out that changes or breaks last month's
build. That would soak up all of our development resources and prevent
us from making forward progress on the product as a whole.

Borland tools will anticipate the .NET 2.0 release with preliminary,
informal, noncertified support for many areas of the beta .NET 2.0.
This is already the case with Delphi 8 capable of linking against beta
.NET 2.0 assemblies.

Will that include preliminary support for beta ASP.Net 2.0 prior to the
release of ASP.NET 2.0? I don't know. That's a pretty big piece to
bite off on an ad-hoc basis. Nights and weekends are already fully
booked with real product work.
