.NET Framework 3.5 beta 2 and Visual Studio 2008 beta 2 now available

As announced earlier today in this post on Soma's blog, beta 2 of the .NET Framework 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008 (formerly code named Orcas) were released for download today.  You can check out this MSDN page for more information, and also check out this Channel 9 video to see Soma and Scott Guthrie discuss these releases in more detail.

Here are the download locations for these new beta versions:
