Visual Studio Beta 2 – Back Ordered

I ordered my free VS beta 2 on April 19th, my order status is now back ordered. If you’re still interested and haven’t ordered, get in the pool before they quit or the wait is 6 months.

Also, according to this link, VSTO beta 2 is included with Visual Studio 2005 Team System , which is what I think I ordered (my “bill” says Team Suite), so If you wanted to get a copy of VSTO I think that’s your ticket.

Can't get the tutorial to work for you? Need help with your code?

    well, i’v tryed to order it, but i keep getting an error page. I’ll try agian laster tonight.

    I only think you get VSTO if you a subscriber to MSDN, which is $8OO a year!

    I also noticed how badly some of sites pages rendered in IE! – they looked fine in FF, but bad in IE – very strange.

    Ross, I’m still back ordered, probably forever. Hopefully VSTO ships also, it will be fun to kick around.

    I notice the opposite, sites render funny in FF for me, and always good in IE. I’m using IE right now for this comment, just to make sure comments work from FF here, ;-)
