Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 Beta 2

It’s out—go download it and look at the info->Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 Beta 2.

There is a “Go Live” license, so if you call product support, they’ll give you product support. This is what “Go Live” means->blogs.msdn.com/jeffbe/archive/2009/10/19/going-live-with-visual-studio-2010-beta-2.aspx. There are support engineers staffed and trained, but you need to read the license agreement and make sure it makes sense for you.
