Hello Peter,
I'd really, really, urge (er, beg?) file system and file system filter
developers to get on that beta as early as possible, to help get any
bugs shaken out that might get introduced when the kits are combined.
May I add IFSTest to the list? Because IFSTest has been taken out of
IFS Kit and
is now in WHQL test tools 'only' (right?). Or is there an IFSTest beta program
that I missed?
Best regards,
David Burg
