What purpose do the LIVE environments StressNet, CertNet, and Int2Net serve? Also is XePartnerNet just another name for PartnerNet?
I had a similar question a while back. Mainly just different testing purposes with no actual value to the names from what everyone said. http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/testnet.59251/
Pnet = PartnerNet = XePartnerNet As gaming said they are used by MS for testing purposes they are also for studios to test deploy their builds, to make sure packages are working and to play test content. Example: CertNet is for games that are certified but not yet ready for release on ProductionNet/live.
