For all of you out there still eagerly awaiting your copy of Visual Studio 2008 that was promised to you at DevConnections, have no fear. I contacted an agent at Penton Media/Tech Conferences yesterday and I was told that they are expecting the product to be in their hands from the manufacturer in the next few weeks. They will be sending out copies as soon as they are received from the manufacturer. So, plan on having Visual Studio 2008 in your hands come mid to late January.
In the mean time, download and install the 90-day trial edition. Scott Guthrie will hook you up with all those new trial goodies!
