Orcas Beta 2 Released

The second full public beta of the .NET Framework 3.5 came out this week. The final version should be out sometime around the end of the year. Unlike previous releases, I can't find an online link to the release notes or known issues. I'll update this post later if I come across it. Here is the direct download:

-
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Beta 2

Update: Thanks to Jin Miao for finding links to the release notes.
