Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Launch!
On November 7th, 2005, .NET 2.0 (including ASP.NET 2.0), Visual Studio 2005, and SQL Server 2005 were released to the world, escaping the Beta cocoon they have resided in over the past year and change. Microsoft is rolling out their new platform and software through a Launch Event in several cities around the world. The bits have been downloadable for MSDN Subsribers for over a week now, but are now officially being rolled out and sold to customers.
For those interested in learning more about the new platform and tools without having to drop the money for Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005, and so on, Microsoft is releasing an "Express" product line that has simplified versions of Visual Studio and SQL Server targetted at C#, Visual Basic, or Web Developers. These "Express" versions are free for a year with registration and, while lacking the enterprise-level tools, they do have the basic essentials: IntelliSense and Debugging support.
2.0 was designed to work side-by-side with the 1.0 and 1.1 versions of the .NET Framework. For example, on my computer I have both Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Visual Studio 2005 installed, both SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005 Express, and SQL Server 2005 Standard installed, and both versions 1.1 and 2.0 of .NET running. For more information refer to Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 (Beta) Compatibility.

I hope I can get hands-on these products soon, confirmed that these tools will make our life as a developer easier than before.
Visual Studio 2005 provides a range of tools that offer many benefits for individual developers and software development teams:
-Work smarter, not harder
-Communicate more effectively within your software teams
-Learn new skills more quickly
-Grow your customer's bottom line
-Be more productive and obtain faster results
-Build dynamic Windows, Web, mobile, and Office-based solutions
-Communicate and collaborate more effectively within your software teams
-Ensure quality early and often throughout the development process
