Curtains rise on the final release of VS 2008

Microsoft released the long awaited VS2008 Final set of editions last Monday(19th) and is up for grabs for the MSDN subscribers. Framework 3.5 was also released simultaneously with VS2008.
As I calculated, it would probably take 17 to 18 hours to download the 3.9 GB image file with my DSL connection. But decided against it as I’m continuously running a couple of Java Projects these days which I think need a hard disk size RAM to run smoothly.
Since it’s a 90-day trail edition, the indecision is whether to go for it or use express editions & try out the new technologies until the professional edition is released. I can hardly wait to explore LINQ with C# 3.0 .
Anyway, one way or the other I’m gonna say goodbye to NetBeans soon and get on with the new VS.
