I've been working with
Visual Studio 2005 intensively for over a month now and one thing that annoyed me most was
this bug, which caused certain keys to stop responding in VS IDE. It first happened during my
VSTO presentation on NTK and its been haunting me ever since.
I downloaded and installed July CTP a few days back and after experimenting with it a bit, I decided to go with it completely. Keys dont seem to freeze anymore, IDE looks more responsive, there are a few new settings and some cosmetic changes (like tabs).
VS installation, however, indicated that SQL Server Express did not install correctly, but looks like its working anyway.
On top of all,
WSE 3.0 July CTP, which goes along with VS2005 July CTP, was also released yesterday.
Busy summer
On a side note VS 2005 Beta 2 VPC image is also available for
MSDN subscribers. Yes, the whole shebang (Windows 2003, Office 2003, VS 2005 Beta 2, SQL Server 2005 CTP) already installed and ready to use.
