Any news when MSDN subscribers will have it.

Er, that would be the end of November 2007...

BHOM.
I expect about the same time. Frankly, I don't expect them to physically
ship it until next year. It takes some time post RTM to get it into the
streets, but MSDN should come online fairly quickly once they decide it's
good enough...

the .NET Framework 3.5 were released to manufacturing (RTM).

So you've had 24 hours and your opinion? ;-)

I'm going to have a look at if for the single feature of JavaScript
intellisense. That might help me maligning JS at every chance I get <grin>

It installed fine on my Vista 64 and setup crashed on Vista 32. Still trying
to sort out the issues. They tell me I might need to install the 198mb 3.5
Framework manually. I'm hooking up my paper tape reader now...

They seem to think this is the issue. I don't think I installed any 3.5 version on this system, but who knows...



2.1.10. Installing Visual Studio 2008 on a Windows Vista computer that has had earlier versions of .NET Framework 3.5 may fail.

When Visual Studio 2008 is installed on a Windows Vista computer that has had earlier versions of Visual Studio, Setup fails during the installation of the .NET Framework 3.5 component.

To resolve this issue:

By using the Control Panel, uninstall the following Windows Updates:

- Hotfix for Microsoft Windows (KB110806)

- Hotfix for Microsoft Windows (KB930264)

- Hotfix for Microsoft Windows (KB929300)

I've never trusted upgrades like this. I play inside a VMware PC and keep Acronis Images of my PC set-up without any development tools so I can roll back (relatively) painlessly.
