The developer community is excited about the approaching Visual Studio 2005 launch. Developers love Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft’s customers can’t wait to deploy it. 32X just closed a deal where I convinced the dev team to move to 2005 in 5 hours. They were wowed by cool features like the class designer but also features like the new win form toolbar and such. One of the driving features they want is the new click once deplolyment feature.
Today (8/22/05) I found this link http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/. VS 2005 is going hot in early Sep with the Release Candidate hitting the streets. This is great news as the RC should be rock solid. In fact, B2 is pretty solid as I am using it full time and have been for weeks and weeks bulding a new 32X product. VS 2005 blows my mind with how easy it is to use and the power it brings.
