Next version of Visual Studio.net - When?

[VB Programmer]

Any word yet on the next version of VS.NET? What features it may have or
when it will come out? I know .NET 3.0 is out, so I was just wondering.
Thanks!

I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you.

;-)

Visual Studio code-name "Orcas" is still in Alpha.

We'd have to get to the Beta stage before it could be discussed,
and before we can start speculating on when it will be released.

Thanks. Any new features we can look forward too? Or, is this private
knowledge for now. Thanks!

The inside scoop I've heard is that it's roughly a year away from release.
