Visual Studio 2010 Beta Released for Public

On Oct 21 Microsoft has released Visual Studio 2010 and .NET FX 4 Beta 2 for public. It is available for download from Microsoft website Download here.  A big change in VS 2010 which I noticed is now it comes with four editions.

1.    Visual Studio Express
2.    Visual Studio 2010 Professional with MSDN
3.    Visual Studio 2010 Premium with MSDN
4.    Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate with MSDN

Some other features which I observed are

1. New Functional programming language F# introduced.
2. It is now possible to do coding, modeling, testing, debugging and deployment work using the same Visual   Studio 2010 environment.
3. It supports cloud based application development which includes Windows Azure.
4. It also supports Microsoft Office SharePoint development.
   
5. Some new Project Management tools are also introduced which includes  new reports,dashboards and planning worksheets.
   

Several other features which are going to be released in VS2010 will be covered later ahead.
