Visual Studio 2010 - so where is it now?

so it's April 12th and where is my visual studio 2010 now?
i've been waiting very long and am kinda impatient right now...

Microsoft Express Downloads

wanna have it! anyone knows where I can find it?
i need the all-in-one iso of VS express.

thanks

Hmm, I think they're trying to hide it! See below... there is a magic hidden button you must press:

It sucks.
It doesn't even run on wine.

its a beta, thats what sucks in the first place!
they were supposed to release the RTM today, on April 12th.

I don't know what Microsoft's timetable is for releasing VS 2010, but if indeed they are supposed to release it today, keep in mind: it's only 8:30 AM right now in Redmond. They have all day to do it.

right... there was this time zones thing... world's weird aint it?
they are going to presentate it in vegas, i won't be there :P
well, lets see what the day brings!

I already downloaded/installed the "Visual C++ 2010 Express Beta 2" package listed above so it's there now. The 5 minutes I've played with it so far doesn't leave me impressed but that not enough time to really give it a good test.

well look at this! it suddenly appeared as download -instead- of VS 2008

!!

So I wonder if its going to be possible to open vs2008 solutions and just use the "cool new" IDE features without upgrading the sln this time.

no it's not. you have to "upgrade". but 2010 offers some cool features. i've also testet the beta.

it's just more comfortable. remember VS 2005, where you haven't been able to "Remove&Sort usings". it sucked, so in visual studio 2008 it was possible.

now in visual studio 2010 some features like this and many more have been added.
you can move code outside the window on another screen for example. yeah!
the whole IDE rocks. it's written completely in WPF and that's what it looks like. fun yea...

just upgrade and ya'll see
