    if you don't need all the beta software you can become a microsoft partner, i THINK you get visual studio then, but you might not as partner is ment to be the "not so much a programmer" as MSDN.

    To be a Microsoft partner you have to aay a wedge of money and b: have a certain number of MSPs in your organisation. There are no interface changes afaik from the Beta 2 September CTP version. I recompiled several projects with the RTM version today, seems to work just like the old version.

    I hope everyone is ready for the slew of launch partner software releases on the 7th

    I for one am really looking forward to being able to migrate customers to SQL Sever 2005, the new XML data type has got some really nice features. Content based indexing for one, it's like a XML database in a column, fabulous.

    I hope you are ready for the pain the new security features give you. Sql 2005 is fully locked down (all pipes, named, tcpip.... are disabled by default and on enabling them Sql can then throw a wobbly for about 30 different reasons).

    I've already spent three hours over the weekend getting 2005 to talk to VS2005 let alone anything else (and it still won't). MSDN forums is going to be fully of similar error report this week.

    As for xml datatypes their are great (we used them in oracle for a very long time).

    I liked the VS2005 betas final product is just as you would expect from a microsoft VS product - one of their only good, useful apps. Designed by coders for coders

    Shame that its very unlikey Stafford Uni will get it before 2010...as you can't mix projects from 2005 to 2003
