Ship It!! Visual Studio 2010 / .NET Framework 4 Now Available
Launch day is here and I’m pleased to announce the product is final and available now!
I can easily say this is the biggest tools release I’ve been involved with in over a decade working on .NET and Visual Studio. The work in the product represents in some cases (such as the CLR) four years of innovation coming together. I want to say a big THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS to the entire team.
In just a little while I will continue our world wide launch events here in London followed by Bob Muglia in Las Vegas. We’ve already completed the events in Malaysia, China, and India. In addition to the keynotes, we will have local events around the world and will have streaming media available for you.
Finally, thanks to all of you who downloaded pre-release builds of the product and provided your feedback. You’re feedback has been invaluable to us.
Enjoy the release, I can’t wait to see what you create…

Timezone trouble, I expect. The twitterers are saying 10AM PST, which is not 10AM where Jason is at the moment.Anonymous

Any idea what time this will be available on DreamSpark? There seems to be trouble with time zones and stuff, so could you please tell me what time it will be available in GMT? Thanks (by the way, as stated in the comments, the link does not work, it throws a 404 error)Anonymous

IT IS NOT IN MSDN! This is obnoxious to be taking orders when you are not fulfilling for loyal paying MSDN customers. VERY disappointed.Anonymous
April 11, 2010
still no sign on subscribers downloads :/Anonymous
April 11, 2010
Me want it now! Not in MSDN yet =(Anonymous
April 11, 2010
All other announcements (e.g., scott hanselman on twitter) say that it will be on MSDN at 10am PDT today. That's 3 1/2 hours from now. Hang in there, kids. ;)Anonymous

Take a pill people. If you get it now or in a day isn't gonna make or break your life.Anonymous

Wah, wah, wah, it's not available on MSDN yet. We are loyal paying customers! Some people need to get a life.Anonymous

Haha, this is like drugs! :) Hopefully we'll get addicted to VS2010 :)Anonymous

People are excited...people want to play with the new and greatest. No need to insult them and say they need a life. People stand outside of stores for all sorts of things...yes some do need a life...but in the case of Visual Studio...some may need it for their jobs to improve their ability to get it done. No burns required.Anonymous

My day is not coming to an end because it is not on MSDN yet, but I do remember when... Okay, back when VS2005 released, the MSDN people had it a few days before the actual release event. The thought then was to have the final bits in our hands so we were even more hyped up and would treat Steve Balmer like a true rock star when he went on stage.Anonymous
April 11, 2010
wow man...I need it, I need it :-) still nothing in MSDNAnonymous
April 11, 2010
Thank you "Don't Insult Either". Microsoft should be happy indeed that their customers are excited about their products. I just hope that the MSDN website doesn't have a meltdown at 10am PST...Anonymous
April 11, 2010
I don't see any download links. I would like to get my hands on the trial version.Anonymous

Go to the Microsoft web site and they invite you to download a trial version of Visual Studio 2010. They take you to to a page that only lets you pre-order a copy and there's no way to download anything. Do they mislead us on purpose or are they just incompetent? Even the "available now" link doesn't work. Well, Mr. Jason Zanders - are we seeing vapourWare here?Anonymous
April 12, 2010
I would suggest that all that are waiting take a little time and visit the E-Learning site and take a course or two to pass the time.Anonymous

FYI, There is no 64-bit version of any release of Visual Studio, include 2010. The x86 version is the one you want, no matter what platform you're running on.Anonymous
April 12, 2010
In this new version they axed the Standard version! Well it seems that MS wants only premium customers after all.Anonymous
April 12, 2010
The x86 version of Visual Studio runs on x64 Operating Systems and includes support for developing 64 bit applications.Anonymous

Why is the .NET Framework 4 not supported on a server core?Anonymous

@Chris Williamson If you have an existing active MSDN subscription that includes Visual Studio, then you will get rights to an edition of Visual Studio 2010. The edition which you will receive depends on which MSDN subscription level you own. Please see the following page for an overview of the MSDN subscription levels, and which Visual Studio editions are included in each: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/ff625864.aspxAnonymous

Dear MS, thank you for The Precioussss! :) I had no problem uninstalling the Release Candidate and then installing VS 2010 Premium. The IDE seems noticeably faster when starting than the RC. Great job!Anonymous

@n13ldo From neil's logs he is experiencing an MSI 1935 return code, which indicates that an assembly is unable to be updated. The workaround is to reboot your machine and retry the setup process again. Thanks! Aaron Ruckman [MSFT]Anonymous
April 14, 2010
I'm having the exact same problem that n13ldo is having installing the vs 2010 ultimate trial in windows 7 x64. Already rebooted a lot of times. Any tips?Anonymous
April 14, 2010
Hi Journeyman, Neil continued to have the same issue, so we investigated it deeper and found that his Windows 7 version was not quite the RTM prduct, which is what the .NET Framework 4 depends on. Can you please ensure that you have the Windows 7 RTM build installed? If that is not the case feel free to send me your logs following thie process: http://bit.ly/bqBE6y Thanks for using #VS2010!
