Getting Visual Studio 2005

Soma just broke the news so we can now all talk about it, Visual Studio 2005 has officially RTM'd!

So how can you get the product?

  • Subscriber Downloads: If you're an MSDN Subscriber, login and start downloading the RTM version of Visual Studio Team Suite today. This has to be one of the best benefits of being a subscriber...early access to bits :)
  • Physical "box" Products: Manufacturing can take approximately 6-8 weeks (or more) to get the product complete and into the channel (resellers, Amazon, etc).
  • Download Express: The downloadable versions of Visual Studio Express will be made available on November 7th 2005.
  • Localized Products: The localization teams are working hard on getting localized versions of Visual Studio out over the next coming weeks and months. Visual Studio is localized into Chinese Traditional, Chinese Simplified, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish.

Updating MSDN for Launch - You may notice that https://msdn.microsoft.com isn't fully updated for the RTM product. The site content is being revamped for launch and will go live on the official launch date, November 7th 2005.

    How odd, a couple of hours after I made the last comment the download list changed - no Express editions and the CD images are replaced with DVD images and finally the download works... I guess I was just too early.

    47%.....

    Stinkin' download just went down, been downloading all day, was at 80% with VS2005 and 59% with SQL2005. Now getting the dreaded 11001 message...they never can just get it right. <sigh>

    Are they going to offer Visual C# 2005 Pro apart from the Visual Studio package? So far all I see is pricing on Express Editions and Visual Studio. Yeah, MS makes a nice IDE but I'd much rather pay $100 for a decent C# compiler than pass on the load of uselessness the $800+ packages ship with :/

    To R's question on Visual C# Pro, there is only one Visual Studio Standard and Pro. More importantly, there is one and only one C# compiler. The same compiler is used in the .NET Framework SDK, C# Express, Visual Studio Standard, Pro, and Team System.

    Thanks,
