Microsoft is releasing the 2008 edition of their software development studio later this month so I decided to take a minute to download and review their public available beta.
There really isn't enough improvements from VS 2005 to warrant a new release. The user interface is the same. Intellisense still doesn't work well. The .Net Framework 3.5 doesn't add anything for a C++ native application programmer. In essence Visual Studio 2008 is nothing more than a Service Pack for Visual 2005.
