Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5 released

#1 Cool. I'll have to read through that!

#2 Cool, to bad it doesn't say how much it's going to cost.

#3 Geez, we're just making the transition from 2003 to 2005 next month for the project I am working on.....now 2008 is out??

#4 They are also including Dark-GDK with VS C++ express.

#5 Interesting. They're finally giving away the personal use license.

#6 Woot, I am so excited.
somebody stop me.

this is the greatest thing since.. well... Vista!

#7 Just downloaded 2008 Pro from my MSDN subscription, pretty nice in the new project templates. I likey. :) Gonna have to keep 2005 installed as well for Torq'ing (and even 2003 for work *shudder*).

#8 @Chip, the VS2005 solutions convert quite easily to 2008. I've been using them at home on one of the 2008 betas without any problems at all.

#9 Oh sweet! Thanks Ross. I thought somebody posted having some problems with 2008 and the TGE project files.

#10 Yeah, their problem was caused by converting the VS2003 project files/solution to VS2008, rather than the VS2005 ones.

Amusingly enough, because I had both VS2005 Express and the VS2008 Team Studio Beta 2 installed, I didn't even realize I was using 2008 for quite a while, since I thought it would automatically open the solution in the appropriate version, rather than merely the newest. Eventually I noticed that the solution files were marked as modified by Subversion and took a closer look at the menu and saw the Test and etc. options.

#11 Awesome, the platform SDK is no longer a separate download/install/configure for VS2008 Express.
