It's here... [Beta 2 - the tease :( ]

Published 16 April 05 06:41 AM | dmckinstry

As an MSDN Universal Subscriber, I received an announcement that Beta 2 was around the corner.  I logged in this morning and, low and behold, it's there! 

The Universal Downloads navitgation tree contained:

  • Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 (didn't expand to look at it)
  • Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2
    • Visual Source Safe 2005 Beta 2 (English)
    • Visual Studio 2005 Standard Beta 2 (English)
    • Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition Test Load Agent Beta 2 (English)
    • Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server Beta 2 (English)
    • Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Beta 2 (English)

I expect that most people will start hammering the servers on Monday morning so I'll download now.  Great way to spend a weekend!

[NOTE: I must have hit it on the nose!  When I started writing this post all the pages said "CONTENT NOT AVAILABLE."  Half way through the post the ISO's appeared!!  I started the transfer of TFS and went back to the nav and it's changed - the Beta 2 content is gone from the side nav, even though I have the Beta 2 TFS downloading...  Oh well, I expect it will reappear later this weekend]

Update to my own post... Apparently I'm a little slow. According to this post: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1736 people have already been installing beta 2. That said, where is SQL 05 (April CTP) that is required to complete the process!!!

I also noticed the Beta 2, and began downloading this morning. Strange indeed that SQL Server 2005 April CTP is not yet released.

Looks like we're all smashing the servers this weekend so there won't be anyone to download on Monday ;)
