VS.NET 2005/Sqlserver 2005 RTM and are available at MSDN

Thursday, October 27, 2005

See: http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2005/10/27/485665.aspx

Now, the MSDN subscriber download site seems to be hammered by a gazillion mad geeks looking for the bits as it seems, because downloading seems impossible at the moment, but I'm sure it will ease somewhat in the coming hours (yes that was wishfull thinking )

Congrats to the VS.NET and Sqlserver teams with this big milestone!

OK, just so I'm certain on this RTM (Release To Manufacture) is definately the final release - come Nov 7th I wont have to uninstall it and reinstall another version?

Probably a stupid question - but I really don't want to go through all that again!

This is the final version, the same version that's given out at the launch parties and the one you can buy in stores later htis month.

Downloads are flying at the moment, I haven't seen a drop in speed since it started, which is a first. They finally managed to make the downloads go smoothly :D
