WMF 5.0 Production Preview differs from older previews of WMF 5.0 in the following ways:
It is fully supported until three months after WMF 5.0 RTM. By fully supported, we mean we will investigate production-blocking issues, and provide workarounds or updates as necessary.
All features in the Production Preview are production-ready. No experimental features are in this package.
You must uninstall all previous releases of WMF 5.0 previews before installing the WMF 5.0 Production Preview.
Your feedback about Windows Management Framework 5.0 Production Preview is valuable to us; we invite you to provide feedback at all times.
