Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 - coming to a download site near you!

Good news! Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 and the SQL Server April CTP are on their way.  The Beta 2 build is currently being prepped to go live on MSDN subscriber downloads.  If you have been desperately waiting for these bits (and I know I have) then your wait should be over by the early part of next week. :)

[Update 16 Apr] Looks like the bits went live overnight.  Let the download begin.

Now if the actual real beta testers could download it on beta.microsoft.com instead of having to buy an MSDN subscription, that would be a real step forward!

Bits out on MSDN tonight (as of 8:30 PM CST (-6 GMT)). I do not see the SQL Server April CTP as a separate download, but it is needed by the Team System bits, so I would imagine it is in the DVD.
