re: not having DVD drives, one option is to find an app that extracts files from DVD ISOs. I used IsoBuster (http://www.isobuster.com/), and didn't have any problems with it.

I agree, but that implies you were able to download the ISO. Some of our customers have poor NET connections.

Whitehorse is there in CTP1; albeit a tad crude.

My whitehorse notes are on the VS2K5CTPCRCW.

I thought it was interesting that the perception was that it was not there.

I've noted a bunch of the breaking changes in VS2K5 vs. PDCWhidbey on my blog, here: http://blogs.aspadvice.com/ssmith/. Feel free to comment on anything I missed.

Well, there are a bunch more IDE breaking changes (.vssettings file, integrated MSBuild, etc) that could bite people trying to go back and forth.

The Helpsystem fix is not available anymore. It's perhaps a good thing if MS posts this fix so we can download it :)

Frans: Send mail to scottsw@microsoft.com. I've been waiting for him to post it somewhere from MS, but in the meantime he can send it to you.

Partial Success

The gradients are insane! How can ppl actually support that visual bloat??

A big problem is using Visual Studio now on rotated screens, as the gradiant doesn't follow the rotation, thus creating unusable toolbars and crazy menus!...

We _really_ need an option to turn those blasted things off!

Storm: Not sure what you mean by rotated screens. Could you send me an attatched pic of what it looks like? jledgard@NOSPAM.microsoft.com (remove the nospam).

Regarding the bloat. Doing this is of little investmnt to us compared to other features. We borrow the office DLL code for the menu/toolbar/command system of visual studio. The only changes we make are actually to change from the Office Blue look and remove bloat. The Office DLL is aroud 9mb and the cut down version we use is around 3mb becuase we actually remove a ton of other features that are used by the office team.
