7 Comments
Microsoft has confirmed it will issue a release candidate of Visual Studio 2005 and a community technology preview of SQL Server 2005 at its Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles on September 12. Formerly known by their code-names Whidbey and Yukon, both products will officially launch November 7.
An August CTP of Visual Studio 2005 is slated for release this week, while a third beta of the server component of Visual Studio Team System is due in September. The releases will be a welcome arrival for developers, which have put up with numerous delays that pushed the final products back over a year.
