1. Event Summary

Participants in the test event are listed in the table below. We had five server products and four client products being tested. Some were released products, others were still in development.

Each participant provided their own systems for testing, either in the room itself, or remotely. A testing plan with a listing of client/server pairs was available and used to ensure we had full coverage of all relevant combinations. Some participants brought their own testing plans for use at the event, and these were shared with other participants. Facilities in the room included wired and WiFi internet access, as well as good wireless coverage from the major carriers. Servers were mostly hosted remotely, clients were running locally.

The biggest issues found involved protocol features that were implemented or expected by one side that had not been implemented by the other. The most frequent reason was ambiguity in the specifications which we hope to address with Microsoft. In other cases, products were simply under development and had not yet implemented the feature, however the participants were glad to know that such features were going to be important to implement, helping to prioritize on-going development.
