I upgraded Visual Studio 2010 from Beta to RC along with the .Net Framework 4.0 and oh my, I’m very impressed by the performance improvements. If you haven’t got it yet, here are the download links.
- Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate
- Visual Studio 2010 Premium
- Visual Studio 2010 Professional
- Visual Studio 2010 SDK
- Visual Studio Team Foundation Server
- .NET Framework 4
Happy Developing!
With the recent release of Microsoft 2010 Betas it’s been quite the talk about making the leap to the 64-bit world. For SharePoint folks it’s also a question of compatibility. As of now, SharePoint 2010 Beta requires 64-bit SQL Server and either Windows Server 2008 or Windows 7. If you are running R2, then you are out of luck as Microsoft has not yet released a hotfix. Also, not to mention the escalated hardware requirements, specially memory-wise.
So if you wanna give it a try (myself included) here’s a nice write up by Jie Li that might come in handy with the planing and installation itself. Good Luck!
