.Net Framework and Visual Studio Now Available

Posted by Zonk on from the get-them-while-they're-hot dept.

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.

    If you're downloading the 2.0 framework & SDK (many people write .NET apps without Visual Studio), you can get them directly from the MSDN .NET developer center.

    I'm guessing MSDN is going to be less swamped than FileForum, though the subscriber downloads are extremely slow at the moment as expected.

    The express products are actually going to be pretty reasonable. Around $49 a piece I believe.
