Cyrus, I'm glad to hear that you're working on C# 3.0. At PDC05 Anders shot down my sync/async language keyword idea from back when you asked about what you'd like to see in 3.0.

WRT LINQ I love the project and want to use it today. To that end I've been crafting a .NET 2.0 library i'll be blogging about shortly (once we get our blogs to a production server) that provides a lot of the functionality in LINQ to .NET 2.0.

Out of the box it will support sequences over IEnumerable with a kind of currying feature that fakes extension methods. It will also create Expression Trees at runtime off of a delegate by parsing the MethodBody's CIL. I'm hard at work getting something like XLINQ and DLINQ working in the library also. Keep up the good work on LINQ, I can't wait for partial types and true "=>" lambdas.

I understand not mixing beta/RC bits, but what about side-by-side installation with 2003?

I have felt the same emotion a couple times before.

And I will try really hard to find what sucks about 2k5, as you've told me to, so 2k7 will be better. I've asked help desk to download them tomorrow. Can we separately purchase the other stuff that come in the retail/boxed version?

First expectations for Orcas are native 64-bit and specialized in multi-core.

What's your take?

Congratulations on the ship! Don't worry we will not ask Soma to put the "Share your Pain" (Video) chair for you if we find a bug :)

The way MSDN Subscribers section is being hosed right now, that's good indication of how much we WANT VS2005!

Congrats, Cyrus! The new IDE is fantastic.

Congratulations on the Shipit :D

Congrats Cyrus. I know exactly what you are feeling since I used to work for a development tools vendor.

The hardest part was working on an IDE months and almost up to a year before our customers and not being able to see them use it.

Get some rest but dont rest too hard. You just raised the bar and you need to raise it again with Orcas. :-)

Klaus: SxS with 2k3 should work fine. But beta2 and RTM will conflict.

Loc: "First expectations for Orcas are native 64-bit "

That would actually be very low on my list. The runtime is already native on 64bit, and i don't see a lot of benefit with VS runnning native 64bit. Remember that on x64 vs really does run natively (despite being being 32bit). All that being true-64 means is that vs will be able to access terrabytes of memory. While that's great for something like SQL server, you really do not want VS using that much.

I was so excited for the RTM that I downloaded everything and started working with it for real instead of play-time beta...

Then I had a few minutes with Intellisense in Visual Studio 2005, and it is so slow I'm having to write some of my code in Notepad. :-(

Maybe now someone can explain to me why Sharepoint Portal Server (not Team Services) will not be compatible with VS 2005...

The release of software of MS seems to exclude the intelligence of insuring their products that use .NET are included in the upgrades. More information and details need to be given regarding these products.

Hi Cyrus, I have a quick Intellisense question for you. I just finished downloading and installing VS 2005 from MSDN earlier this week and have been LOVING it. I've found a very annoying IntelliSense "feature" that I'm sure pretty much every ASP.Net developer must have run in to, however, and cannot figure out for the life of me how to fix it.

When I start to write inline code (<% ... %>) in an aspx or ascx I get as far as "<%" before Intellisense pops up and selects "<%@ Assembly" as the default value. Now if I type almost anything (a letter, number, equal sign, space) it then inserts "<%@ Assembly" into the code instead of what I wanted to type.

I have found no way to stop this from happening. I, instead, am either hitting ESC to back out of the popup or using the arrow keys to cancel the popup. Any help you might be able to provide would be appreciated.

I *love* the new interface, and the improved Intellisense.. now almost impossible to broke! =)

Well, unless you've been living under a rock, you know that we finally signed off on VS 2005 and that it's available now (or soon) to MSDN subscribers. The "boxed" versions should be coming in just a few weeks, and i can't wait to see what you
