Thanks Thomas S. "The beta of the .NET Framework version 1.1 SDK and Redistributable is now available, along with the add-on to build and run J# applications. We encourage you to download these and provide us with feedback. You may register for the beta program to access these downloads at http://www.betaplace.com. Use the following userID and password to gain access to the site: "

(Please note: you should expect a 24 delay between registering at the site and being able to download the beta.)

The .NET Framework version 1.1 features improved scalability and performance; support for mobile device development with the ASP.NET Mobile Controls (formerly the Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit); support for Internet Protocol version 6; and classes in ADO.NET for native communication with ODBC and Oracle databases. It also enables the use of code access security to further lock down and isolate ASP.NET applications. For more information, check out the white paper "What's New in the .NET Framework Version 1.1." at http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/productinfo/next/overview.asp

We encourage all the feedback we can get on the .NET Framework version 1.1, its features and behavior. We're sending this mail/posting this message to encourage more testing. So far, we've gotten significant feedback, but the time is now to find and submit those bugs.
In the interest of setting realistic expectations from the outset, we should be clear that we cannot promise that we will address every issue raised from the beta program in the final release of the SDK. Your feedback is still critical to help us find the showstopper issues as well as ensure that we can continue to improve the product going forward.
Critical issues - along the lines of security vulnerabilities, compatibility between the .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1, installation issues, significant regressions, and production stability for example - will take priority.
Other issues - We appreciate feature suggestions, but at this point they would be considered only for future releases. We're closed on new features for the .NET Framework SDK.
Again, thank you for taking the time to beta test our software. We look forward to hearing your reactions

We will release to manufacturer version 1.1 simultaneously with Windows .NET Server 2003. We appreciate your help in making this a strong, successful release and look forward to hearing about your experiences developing with and running this software. Thanks, The .NET Framework Team
