MS Visual Studio 2008

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/MS Visual Studio 2008

Has anyone had a chance to play with this yet? Is it any good? The IDE improvements alone (new designer, JS intellisense etc) have me dribbling.

I'm downloading it now, and I'm really tempted to uninstall VS2005 and never look back. Having said that, I almost made that mistake with Vista...

It's still Beta and will only run until March, 15, 2008 - I would reconsider the "never look back" part if I were you. ;-)

Other then that - I only downloaded it today but have not yet installed it anywhere. Regarding the license "expire March 15" and "you are not allowed to distribute anything that you wrote with the software", I am actually not really interested in it anyway but rather wait for the release version.

The RTM was released on MSDN today.

Looks just like the previous version :)

Downloading now!

i can deal with vs2005 until 2008 is free :p

What? Never heard of resharper? Resharper is the only reason to use VisualStudio in the first place...

I downloaded the Express editions. It was a very long installation though especially installing .net 3.5.

I'll test it out in a bit.
