Some hope for another Beta ?
I am not sure what will be the result of the quest for another round of tests for Visual Studio, but I noticed that Microsoft has changed the status of the Feedback to 'Under Review' and 'Reopened'.

Vista look on Windows XP
If you are really serious fan of Windows Vista, you can use Universal Vista Inspirat Brico Pack 1.0 to transform your humble Windows XP with a new shiny look and feel. Tried it and like it :-)

Beta or not beta? Another Microsoft opinion
So busy that I missed this new and very long comment from Marie Hagman, Visual Studio, Microsoft Program Manager on the Visual Studio feedback page for a Beta 3 release. Indeed where Microsoft is wrong is that we don't really want another Beta really, the main point is to know more about the future of VS 2005 service packs.

Grrr... what's wrong with my comments Scott ??
UPDATE: Thanks Scott for your reply, even if I don't understand the timezone difference (good morning anyway). I still can't see my comment but no worry.
You mention a future post about some other questions people commonly asked about VS 2005. Great but does this include an answer about the update policy (service packs, patches, etc...) ? Believe me we need some answers on this :-)
Also I was finally able to convert successfuly one project with the new DLLs you sent me but nothing works well with one solution with multiple projects (6 in some cases). I will send you my feedback on this. -

Great! This is a really useful HTTP module (and free) you can implement in your web projects if you have to provide an upload facility.
