Microsoft is teasing developers with some beta technologies, like
..NET Framework 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005, which are currently in beta1
development cycle
SQL Server 2005 Express which is in beta2, and I did notice that beta3 will
follow.

Technologies roadmaps are scheduled for Q1 2005, but there could be delays?
Am I on the safe side, using beta products for development, and if release
version will
come before the completion of my project, which is scheduled for late Q1
2005?

That seems like a bad idea to me, unless your project is likely to slip
too :)

As far as I've heard, VS.NET 2005 is supposed to ship late in the first
half of 2005. It's possible that MS is being conservative and actually
they're hoping to release it in Q1, but I wouldn't bank on it.
