March Orcas
I've been gone for nearly a month... What have I done?
Well, for starters, I was hit by unknown sickness (until today). But when my body isn't as productive as usual, my computers are. Today I have downloaded the March CTP of Visual Studio 2007. If Microsoft's promise for 18-months cycle is to be met, that means VS2007 should be RTM-ed in May this year! Whoa...
Lots of stuff in the installation (I went for the Default setting), including Amberpoint Express (), .NET Framework 3.5 (yes, guys, it's called v3.5...), Web Designer Tools (wonder what these are), and other things like SQL Server Express and Compact and VSTO 2007.
It's a whopping 4.7Gb download, and as always, you can send me a DVD if you need it, but this time you might want to send double DVD, since the whole package does not fit into a single DVD. The biggest part of the download is the MSDN, it's around 2Gb, and uses the new Document Explorer 2007 (wonder what improvement are there). It's still installing, and I'll spend this weekend digging what's in it.
