visual-studio microsoft news announcements

Today, at 10:00AM PST (Pacific Standard Time), Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 became available for download on MSDN, for those who have a valid MSDN subscription.

I was watching the live keynote and some really interesting points were made, especially those about team collaboration. For those who missed it, today (I am not sure if it will be at this location tomorrow and later on) it is possible to watch it from the very beginning.

Currently, the following downloads in the Visual Studio 2010 section are available on MSDN Subscriber Downloads:

  • .NET Framework 4 Client Profile (x86 and x64) – (English)

Personally, I am now downloading Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate (it being the analog of Visual Studio Team System Team Suite), since I need some additional team collaboration moments. If no team collaboration is present in the development process, Visual Studio 2010 Premium or Professional should suffice (it being the analog of the previous Professional editions).

You can view the MSDN Subscriber Downloads here (valid MSDN subscription is required to be linked with a Live account).

Visual Studio 2010 Express (a free version of Microsoft Visual Studio) is available here.

NOTE: I do have a BizSpark MSDN subscription, so it is out there for BizSpark members as well (I’ve seen a lot of people asking about this).
