OK...geek time again :)
I just got my hands on the new Visual Studio 2008! Fantastic! The DVD was waiting for me in the office - the MSDN subscription fulfillment guys don't let the grass grow under their feet!
I've decided to install it because I've watched the whole VS 2005 version from the sidelines - my dev environment is (very satisfactorily) still at VS 2003. I've now officially skipped a FULL version of a Microsoft product - and I'm afraid that it's likely that such a trend is going to continue :) I've still not, for example, installed Vista or Microsoft Office 2007.
However, with WCF and WF released - both frameworks that my friends back at Microsoft have worked on, and thought that I really ought to try them out and see how they fit into my scheme of things.
The install went off smoothly - and I got MSDN installed as well. Next came Expression and the whole ASP.NET AJAX paraphernalia. Also downloaded the Facebook VS 2K5 template for good measure...
Now off to play in my free time with all these new toys!
Let's see how this goes - will write about my experiences as they are sure to be unique!
