Beta for XNA Studio?

Does anyone know if there is a beta planned anytime soon for XNA Studio, or if it will have a public beta?

My primary line of business is not game development, but I am interested in seeing/experimenting with this product.

I agree that it would be really nice to hear what is going on with XNA. I would imagine that at meltdown there will be some information on the subject. So at worst we have to wait until then.

We have not announced a beta date for XNA yet. In addition, please keep in mind that XNA, being layered on top of Visual Studio Team System, is not aimed at the casual developer.

The initial feature set of XNA will be aimed at gaming studios that are trying to manage large asset collections and build/deployment challenges.

XNA was discussed at Gamefest last month, and will be briefly discussed during the VSTS talk at Meltdown next week.

Hi. I'm really interested in XNA Studio, too, but I understand that it's not for casual developers (I'm a hobbyist).

Is there any screenshots showing XNA Studio?

And by the way, nice forum. I really like the toolstrip-look above the rich-text edit box. Howeve, I've noticed that the toolstrip (toolbar) didn't change depending in the color of the theme (but I will end here since this is off-topic).

Smile Idea
