Well ... time to see what it can do ... so far it looks prettier, lets see if it has less bugs than 2003 ;)

Awesome news, one problem:

I've only got 3 days (before Nov1) on a 192k line to download them and MSDN is going to TANK!

The programmers actually wanted microsoft to delay the release of VS 2005... after the beta testers told them about a couple of buggs... I take it they did not care about that.... hopefully they have fixed them... Looking at the Tutorial MS sent me a couple of months ago, it looks good...

Proudly VB6 since 2000

yeah .. they wanted a beta 3 .. but in true MS spirit they told them to sod off, which I guess is good ... as I'm seriously looking forward to the new stuff on web dev ;)

Melikes the integrate any kind of project into one solution thing.
e.g. SQL 2005 Reporting Services Project + .Net WebSite usng them reports + SQL 2005 Analysis Services Cube + SQL 2005 CLR Code + Some Custom Classes ... all in one deployable solution.

Prettie cool.
