Microsoft releases Visual Studio, .NET Betas
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft promised last month to release information at a steady rate so as not to overwhelm developers, but today's code dump might be a bit much.
This week, developers at the Professional Developer Conference not only got their hands on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, they also got Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0.
Visual Studio 2008 has only been on the market for a few months but Microsoft is letting no grass grow under its feet by getting to work on the new version. Scott Guthrie, corporate vice president of the .NET Developer division, was a keynote speaker on this second day of PDC, where he discussed how Microsoft is making the transition from traditional clients to cloud-based services.
