&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;As Jeff mentions in his main &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=313608&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; about our Beta, we’re not feature complete but want to show you where we’re at right now. We’ll be posting a readme listing what is in the Beta so that if you can’t find something you’re looking for you can check against that list. I want to make a call out to a couple of big things you won’t see in this Beta:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;DIV class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Silverlight player&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;DIV class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Wiki&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;These are both features we’re committed to producing in v4. We’re just not there yet with the Wiki and hope to share that with you soon in an upcoming sprint. With Silverlight, we ran into some issues with the Silverlight Beta build that makes our player unusable in our scenario so we’re waiting for a public release of Silverlight that includes the fixes for those issues. As soon as that’s out we’ll be pushing out our Silverlight player on the Beta site.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;Looking forward to your feedback on the Beta.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;-Grace &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
