VS2010 Beta 2 available

The only way I'd get that version is if it came with a lifetime supply of BBBBBBBB (Beautiful Blond Bimbos Bearing Big Bodacious Bouncing Breasts). BTW, the value "BBBBBBBB", when converted to binary is 10111011101110111011101110111011. This information is provided to keep the post somewhat programmer-specific.

I'm glad they didn't just make up a price and say "$11,299". If it were that price you'd know they hadn't thought it through, but clearly at $11,294 they have done their best to scrape every last dollar off the price.

They should have scraped another $11,200 from the price. Only then it would have been obvious. :)

I wonder what the SKU for that would be? Maybe someone at Microsoft will blog about it :) It would at least be a more entertaining/interesting read than most of the crap they churn out.

It's very close to the previous pricing, it's just the names have changed. Change seems to confuse and scare people ;)

[Dan Neely]

The pro pricing is basically unchanged. Premium pricing is roughly inline with Team System Kitchen Sink edition. The $11k edition has no predecessor. Standard ($350) and Team System One Part Only ($2.5k) editions appear to be KIA.

well yeah; we're in a recession don't you know. :rolleyes:

I spent the majority of the last two years doing Java dev work with NetBeans. It was like a breath of fresh air. It works, it's stable and I was able to produce good product quickly. And it's all free.

And MS seems to have plotted a course out. For themselves, anyway. :-D (Not to worry. I hear the surplus income is being re-routed to the Windoze Mobile group. They're going to buy an Android phone, reverse engineer it, then release WM7 - Android With Bugs.) ;)

Ultimate is Team Server + Team Suite ... it costs so much because it comes with the TFS server. Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team System Team Suite (with MSDN Premium)[^]

clearly MS doesn't do random drug screens for employees in its Marketing division.

What are you supposed to do with it? Hang it on a wall, or stand it on a plinth?

I assume the express edition will still be available, which is affordable.

Now is the time I start looking for the MS launch event for VS2010 so I can score a free copy. I've had good luck so far. I've got a shiny new copy of VS for free with each launch to date. Scored Windows 7 last week the same way. Victory Stewy!

[Brady Kelly]

Well, I've just got VS 2008 Pro for nothing, so when 2012 CTP comes out, I'll get 2010 for nothing. The WebSiteSpark program.

[Gary Wheeler]

Yes they do; it's just that the cheap bastards in Marketing didn't bring enough to share.
