It was taking too much resources and money to develop (aka money-sink). They now suggest everyone to jump to Eclipse/MonoDevelop.

If you are going to write a post in a lolcat tone... you could at least break out Paint.NET and start a new trend, asking and campaigning until your question is answered.

I can't be 100% certain, but I'm sure I saw a channel 9 video or article recently that started "With beta 2 of vs.net 2010 coming in a couple of weeks, we wanted to show you x feature....."

Might be imagining it, but I'm fairly sure it happened!

The Resharper for Visual Studio 2010 beta 1 ends October 14... I would bet money on VS 2010 beta 2 being released around that date. Shouldn't be long now....

i hate being cryptic...but release dates could always change a day here, a day there....so my answer would be:

you'll have beta2 sooner than you need....but longer than you'll want to wait.

Honestly...if you haven't been playing with Beta1....then go play with that now....and before you even know it....you'll be overwhelmed with all of the newer stuff coming in beta2.

if you've been playing with beta1...then patience young jedi....the force is strong with you.

Dude ... I know.

Zeo: I am ok perhaps you were saying to OP to chill ??

I had the first one installed for a while but removed it as I am going to load WIn 7 on the 21st and wanted to make sure I had removed the bits well before that update, saw the blog on problems that would happen if i tried to leave the first beta and upgrade stuff.

Jedi related I saw the first of the Star Wars movies back when i was in HS ... Cool I was on to .Net the day it came out....

and the 4.0 stuff plus the Silverlight stuff is just sweet.... IMHO the next 2 years may be the time when WInForms finaly become the "old way" and xaml / WPF start to take over. the toolling is starting to mature along with the new markup engine to where it's really ready for more devs to make the jump.

figuerres...before I joined Microsoft I was the same way. I downloaded and installed each and every 2005 build I could get my hands on...by the time 2005 RTMed...I was eager for the next new thing...

I did learn one valuable lesson from that release cycle....instead of going broad on all of the technologies in that release I started going really really deep on ASP.net and TFS.

With this release of VS and the .net framework...I'd encourage you to go deep on WPF and the new silverlight stuff...especially sketchflow....and because I eat, live, and breath VSTS/TFS...check out the new testing tools.

And in terms of the release of beta 2...i just get the feeling you'll be way ahead of everyone else when it comes out...and before you know it....you'll think of 2010 as being that "boring old release". I know that happened for me the day after I had 2005 Beta2 in my hands.

But mark my words...the first time you run into a bug in 2010...you'll shake your fists at the sky and wish Microsoft took longer fixing bugs....so remember with your eagerness comes bugs....good "stable" products come to those who wait.
