Denaes Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 I havn't found an ETA orther than "Early 2005". Does anyone have anything better than that? Quote
3xodus Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Hi Denaes, I read that Beta 2 would be released towards the end of March, and the final product should be expected around the end of summer. I don't know the source of that information, but I suppose we'll find out about beta 2 by the end of this month. As far as I know, there's no word on this from Microsoft (at least not publicly).

Denaes Posted March 16, 2005 Author Posted March 16, 2005 Beta 2? I havn't been following up much on the express or studio betas, but what I've used was top notch and performed better than 2003 did with a better interface and features. Are there any major known bugs in Beta 1? I'm surprised that I couldn't google any of this information up. ::Jinxed so that someone will show up and proove me wrong:: I'm looking into the MSDN Universal Subscription and don't mind playing around extensively with these great betas but it really ties a knot in learning ASP.Net when my server doesn't have 2.0 yet .

thenerd Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Here is my google result, nothing too informative http://theserverside.net/news/thread.tss?thread_id=31318 I also saw rumors of it being released at PDC05 (sept 13 to 15) Quote
Denaes Posted March 17, 2005 Author Posted March 17, 2005 Beta 2 will have a GoLive Liscense!? Right on! 2.0 is downloadable off of Microsofts website, so I'll start using VB.Net Express again :D Quote
*Experts* Nerseus Posted March 17, 2005 *Experts* Posted March 17, 2005 Both the technical preview and the Express products are pretty buggy, in my opinion. I've done some pretty standard stuff and it craps out on me with "Catastrophic Error" in a messagebox. Yikes! I haven't installed any of the newer betas, other than the Express product. Still looks very promising, but too early/buggy for me to do any real work or invest much time yet. -ner Quote "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.

The only thing I've noticed was the "tutorial" to work with the DVD collection application which opens buggy (it doesn't always add the picture, year, description, etc into the database) and uses a whole load of custom controls. I think like 4-6 created for the application and the VB.Net Control Pack. Quote

Jay1b Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 $800?? So that means it will be about £500-600+ in England i expect. Now let me think......£500-600 delivered or £5-10 from the market..... Tough choice..... Quote
RedLeader Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I've heard that VS 2005 will be out for a sale in the end of 2005 Quote
samsmithnz Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 $800?? So that means it will be about £500-600+ in England i expect. Now let me think......£500-600 delivered or £5-10 from the market..... Tough choice..... Isn't it more like 300-400 pounds? Quote Thanks Sam http://www.samsmith.co.nz
Jay1b Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 Isn't it more like 300-400 pounds? $800 = £439 + Everything cost more in Britain = £500-600 For example: PC at Dell.com is $399 = £219 PC at Dell.co.uk is £329 = $598 They are the same model, but the UK one does come with a 80gb hard-drive compared to the US's 40gb hard-drive. That accounts for about £30/$55 worth of the difference. That still makes the UK one $150 more expensive. Software is also regularly priced like this, but i cant think of any easy examples. Quote
pendragon Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 Hopefully Microsoft will do the same as they did with VS2003 and offer an update for $19 (I think that was what it was) Quote
*Experts* mutant Posted March 30, 2005 *Experts* Posted March 30, 2005 That is impossible if you ask me. 2003 - 2005 is too big of a jump in technology to be offered for $29 like 2002 - 2003 did, which was not really a big breakthrough. Quote
3xodus Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Just fyi, I noticed this posted on Jurgen Postelmans's blog on MSDN (dated today, 17th April: Seems that the MSDN people are uploading Visual Studio 2005 on the MSDN Subscribers Downloads site. Apparently they are posting the following versions: * Visual SourceSafe 2005 beta 2 * Visual Studio 2005 Standard Beta 2 * Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition Test Load Agent Beta 2 * Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server Beta 2 * Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Beta 2 Hopefully we can start the downloads real soon now :) [link] Quote Using: Visual Studio 2005/08 Languages: C#, Win32 C++, Java, PHP
