.Net Framework and Visual Studio Now Available
DJ-Dodger writes "The Microsoft Blogs are all buzzing with news that the .NET Framework 2.0, Visual Studio.NET 2005 and Sql Server 2005 have released to manufacture. Michael Swanson's blog has a nice run down of what's available now and what's coming. The short version: MSDN Subscribers can download everything now, everybody else can pick up their copy after the November 7th launch." The .Net framework is downloadable from FileForum.
This is an absurdity. JAVA's dying, can't you see that? It runs slow everywhere, nobody wants to download a virtual machine to run it, and it's such an ugly hack on top of any operating system it sits on.
