Short, sweet, to the point - Framework 2.0 is out!
In case you haven't heard (or even if you have, IMHO this could never be spread too fast), .NET Framework 2.0 is out. This is a major improvement over the 1.1 Framework in terms of stability, and overall offerings including the ever-so-important generics support. You can download the x86 version of the redistributable here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5.
I personally will be moving to generics and never looking back, so it'd be best to get the newest version of the runtime to as many people as soon as possible :)
There are also links under the "related links" section of that page to get the redistributable for x64 (AMD64), or IA64 (Itanium), as well as the Framework SDK (free, comes with a couple extra tools for developers).
Visual Studio 2005 ("Whidbey") has also shipped, and will be hitting the store shelves very soon. Express versions should also be downloadable soon, if not up there already.
