I have downloaded and installed Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. I noticed a couple of UI (User Interface) improvements over the Visual Studio 2008.

Visual Enhancements

The user interface of the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is now clean and sleek. Unnecessary lines and gradients are removed to reduce clutter.

Below shows the Start Page after you launch Visual Studio 2010.

When you create a New Project, you noticed that the layout for project type selection has also changed. It is now neat and tidier.

One of the cool feature I like is that in Visual Studio 2010, you can undock a source code tab and drag it outside of the IDE. This makes it easier to work with multiple monitors and also while debugging, you can compare source codes side by side.
