VS2010 Beta 2 available

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.

Wow... Just... wow... You know, I like .NET and WPF and everything, but prices like that make me think it may be time to switch to Java.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in? Developer, Author (Guardians of Xen)

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.) ;)

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.

2001 is overrated. Kubric is overrated. Clark's later books are massively overrated; his early stories in Astounding are much better.

Agreed. His work got progressively worse (more insipid) as he got older.
