Installed Visual Studio 2008 yesterday and it so far it seems to reach my expectations. Im looking forward to playing with all these new things; LINQ, anonymous types etc. However I got really dazzled to why my imported .NET 2.0 projects from Visual Studio 2005 behaved REALLY slow in 2008. I could hardly edit any code and loading the designer took forever. By re-creating the project from scratch and import the old files it now works as usual. Perhaps anyone knows the cause of this behavior...

If anybody has missed it, Scott Gutrie has started to post a great series of posts about the new features of the Visual Studio Orcas release (planned to be released later this year). Here is a link to the last post about class extension methods, that BY FAR must be the coolest new feature yet have I have seen in Orcas. Some VB9 content about the stuff he mentions (in C#) can be found here...
