Stay tuned Sean will post very soon confirming how you can order a copy of the new Beta's on DVD in New Zealand to save a massive download bill :)

The MOTO and PMG teams are very pleased to announce today’s release of the Web sites to support the release of Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2, which is a major milestone on our way to the next generation of Visual Studio products.

• Visual Studio 2005 Team System
  • Updated to reflect Beta 2 changes

  • Entire new look and feel to better align with current branding plans, as well as to make a much more visually appealing set of sites.
  • Addition of the Absolute Beginner's Video Series to Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions
• Coding4Fun Developer Center (aka the Hobbyist Developer Center)
  • A new Developer Center designed to target the non-professional and hobbyist developer market
