Visual Studio Beta 1 Arrives in Cookham

COOL Stuff! That nice delivery man just rang the door bell and I now have Beta 1 of VS 2005) aka Whidbey. The package contains several bits and pieces:

• VS 2005 Beta 1 (2 CDs)
• R debugger (CD)
• Visio tools (1 CD)
• MSDN library (3 CDs)
• 64-bit SDK (1 CD)

Additionally, Microsoft has shipped a copy of Amber Point Express, a web services management tool. AmberPoint Express allows you to manage, monitor, analyse, diagnose and test your web services. It's also fully integrated with Visual Studio. Neat! I'll post more once I get it all loaded up!
