 Topic: VS 2005 looks sweet
Posted: 23 July 2005 at 7:42am |

At SIC in Denver the MS guys were demoing VS 2005 and showing some of the new improvements. And it looks REALLY sweet.
I got a copy of the beta DVD and will give it a spin in the next little while.
You can get a beta at getthebetas.com.

The new stuff in VS 2005 is just wild. You're going to love it. You can
move stuff to functions, rename variables throughout a program and just
get stuff done FAST. I'm trying to beg MS for a complimentary copy
because I won the Best Application Using .Net award... but so far
Daniel hasn't replied 
Please everyone, email him at danielfe at microsoft (blah) dot (blah) com and tell him what a good guy I am and how I really deserve a free copy of VS 2005 as a loyal .vangelist 
Shouldn't Microsoft show the little guy some love?

I reckon they should make more of there devlopment software free because in a few years they will have a lot more competition with Linux and the Linux development tools (which can also cross-compile easily with cygwin etc)
I got a free cd of either express or vs .net b2 (cant remember which) but I couldnt be bothered to mess around installing .net 2

Looks like VS 2005 is going to have some pretty inexpensive versions
compared to what's been available in the past so that's definitely they
way they're headed.
.net hasn't been taking off for them at the rate they thought it would
so they're getting a lot of market pressure to lower the entry
point prices on VS.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Some people were complaining to the MS guys about people needing the
.Net framework installed. A lot of people use it on servers now, but
not on the desktop.

Yikes, that is a long time. They must deliver it by boat from Redmond. I am still running the beta2 and have not bothered installing the latest CTP's it runs well for the most part but well crashed on occasion. So far auto-file-recovery got it all back though.
