VS2005 RC1 and TFS Beta 3
I'm sure by now you have read about Visual Studio 2005 Release Candidate 1 and Team Foundation Server Beta 3. But of course, I have to make the obligatory post about it.
Somasegar, on his blog, has gave a Visual Studio 2005 Update. He talks about how the launch is 77 days away (I can't wait!), and goes into some details concerning the RC and TFS Beta .
Richard Hundhausen does a good job of hitting the main points of the above post.
Rick LaPlante also comments on how the staged release of TFS will affect VSTS.
Infoworld also has an article on the rollout. In it, they mention that MSDN subscribers get access to the products in mid to late October, ahead of the Nov 7 general release date. Also, Chris Menegay, one of guys who helped create TeamSystemRocks.com, is quoted in the article.
Hey Chris, what gives? No mention of the website? ;)
I'm looking forward to the August CTP. I'll probably ditch Beta2 at that point and start playing with the CTP instead.
Things are starting to heat up!
