Yep, BETA 2 is now up. Read the full post from ScottGU’s blog post about VS 2010 and .Net 4.
Download VS 2010 Beta 2
Visit the site to download – MSDN available Oct 21
Ultimate, Professional, etc
Yep, they are now going to ship Visual Studio with naming like the Operating System.
- Visual Studio Express: Free Express SKUs for Web, VB, C#, and C++
- Visual Studio 2010 Professional with MSDN: Professional development tools as you are used to today with the addition of source control integration, bug tracking, build automation, and more. It also includes 50 hours/month of Azure cloud computing.
- Visual Studio 2010 Premium with MSDN: Premium has everything in Professional plus advanced development tools (including richer profiling and debugging, code coverage, code analysis and testing prioritization), advanced database support, UI testing, and more. Rather than buying multiple “Team” SKUs like you would with VS 2008, you can now get this combination of features in one box with VS 2010. It also includes 100 hours/month of Azure cloud computing.
- Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate with MSDN: Ultimate has everything in Premium plus additional advanced features for developers, testers, and architects including features like Intellitrace (formerly Historical Debugging), the new architecture tools (UML, discovery), test lab management, etc. It also includes 250 hours/month of Azure cloud computing.
Side by Side Supported
This beta now includes side by side support with VS 2008 (makes our life a LOT easier).
Go live license!?!
You CAN, but should you? You can now ship .Net 4 and VS 2010 Beta 2 projects are production code… But should you really be putting a BETA of the .Net framework on a user machine? I don’t think I would do that. Maybe for a situation where you are writing developer tools and they already have to be installed (like us – the VS 2010 plugin would require you already have VS 2010 installed).
