Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 Available

We announced today the availability of the Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 on MSDN. Later this week, on Wednesday, it will generally be available for everyone from the Download Center. There has been a ton of work, performance improvements, and bug fixing done for Beta 2, so definitely check it out and provide us feedback on what you like and don't like.

And, along with MSDN, the Visual Studio Gallery has gone through a redesign. Also, VSIX extensions available on the Gallery are now on for Beta 2.

New for the extension manager in Beta 2, we went through a UI redesign to make it appear more like the new Visual Studio shell and consistent with the New Project dialog; updated the vsixmanifest format; added support for Toolbox controls and VS Start Pages to VSIX; and fixed a slew of bugs.
