Visual Studio.NET Released!

LOL Yeah, I guess so. First the Chinese crack it. Then they ship it to Singapore. From Singapore it gets exported to all over the planet. After a week or two it arrives in Trivandrum. [UnNamedPerson] buys it and starts using it. Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut

If it's the same one that I got yesterday, then .NET isn't there. >The Post Office have a parcel "too big to fit in the letter box" My postman didn't think so. He managed to push it through my letter box. The box was split open and crumpled when I picked it from behind the door. There wasn't a copy of the MSDN Library in it though. Let me know if you get one with yours. They've reduced the number of DVD's you get now. Fit more onto a disk now. Michael :-)
No library here either, I remember there was a letter a month or so ago tell us to save the October 2001 library, because the format is/was changed and the next release (Beta 3 - kidding) can't be used with VS6. I think I'm losing my microsoftyness, I managed to wait until I go home after work before opening it! I then couldn't decide which is the more sad! Al.

Yes, this downloading is a pain. I've started last night at around 9:30PM. My bandwidth was going up and down all the time since my ISP loves to do things at night.:mad: It is now 7:24AM and I still have an hour to go - connection broke while I was sleeping, so it was just sitting there and waiting for me to click Resume...
-
I wonder if there is anyone who will wait for more than a week before downloading it rather then for their next monthly MSDN output.
I don't know. First I wanted to wait, but then *something* came over me and I just went and started to download it... :)

I opened it. Read the letter that said they'd finally got around to making full use of the DVD space and reduced the number of disks. Yipee! Now I won't have lots of CD's floating around my desk at home. I looked and saw no library, not new .NET and no updated platform SDK. The only three things that I'm really interested in, so I chucked them in a corner. :-D Michael :-)

Funny - my manager had the same sort of reaction, except he said, "Great..." :cool: Jon Sagara What about :bob:? "Teve Torbes, I've only got one thing to say to you: Tuck Off!" -- Dob Bole

This day will be long remembered, it's seen the end of VS6 and will soon see the end of Java. Or something like that :-) Michael :-)

you and me both.. but I'm at work now and I can't even get a connection to MSDN now that those people over the pond have woken up. I've booked a day off on friday (to press reconnect/resume all day) and so I should have it by Tuesday! Someone else here just said that they thought that it woudn't be on DVD for MSDN until March and I'm starting to agree. I can't get the (C#) App wizard (in RC1) to create a basic form app that works, and I'm hoping that the final release will solve that. I'm running XP Pro on a Dell Inspiron 8000 256MB and RC1 as I said - Thank you again to everyone who recomended I buy a Dell Laptop and with 256MB too. Interested hear of anyone on here who had the same problem with the MSDN RC1. Al.

Great... it took three years for me to save enough to buy VS6! I'm tempted to go over limit on a a couple of credit cards for the new product, but then if I wait 6-8 weeks, Microsoft will have a new "vision" and an entirely new and incompatible product line:laugh: I'll wait... You have to ask, "Is it a new product, or just a new revenue stream?" And another, "Does the old product suddenly not work?"

.. the first day of the rest of your life? .. Now children, when your grandpa was in England, before the Blair presidency and a short lived currency called the "euro", there was a very big company called GEC Marconi that seemed to make everything ... and can recall another called Enron; they didn't make anything, especially money ...

Ray Croc's (I think I have the corect name) favourate question was "What sort of business am I in?" Most, me included, would reply "Hamburgers" (if you haven't guessed by now he's Mr McDonalds) He'd always reply "wrong, I'm in the property business. McD's owns probably the most expansive property portfolio around." (paraphrased). I can't stand McDonalds, Burgerking for me, but I keep signing up for that MSDN subs.
