I know it’s a bit late, but as promised here’s a review of Visual Studio 2008. I’ve had it for a while now, but I wanted to wait until I’d worked on a few projects with it before I offered my opinion. Overall, it’s a solid improvement over 2005. The guys at Microsoft have made some good changes that actually improved the development experience rather than just adding a bunch of fluff.<br style="clear: both;"/> <img alt="" style="border: 0; height:1px; width:1px;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?i=0a95f81e87f156a86f240715695488ce" height="1" width="1"/> <img src="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/tracker.php?i=0a95f81e87f156a86f240715695488ce" style="display: none;" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> More info
