Visual Studio 2005 is out!
VS 2005 and .NET 2.0 are finally released today!
Microsoft realized it wouldn't be possible to meet the deadlines and get full versions out before the end of the year, and so give a sense to the 2005 moniker. They decided to release NOW lighter versions with all the basic features we all need and that are ready, and postpone advanced features and all the extra stuff for a later release next year Q1 2006.
