For those of us who don't have a broad band connection, there is an option to buy the whole beta on DVD for $10 S&H. I started looking at the disk last night and there is an option to go get the latest updates in the installer. I wonder how long that will take?

Anyways, the new interface looks slick and allows us VC++ 6 folks the chance to keep the interface familiar. I havent tried importing 6.0 workspaces yet as I am slightly phobic about not being able to use them in the event Express beta leaves the station (so to speak).

VS 2k5 Express probably will go official in 2-3 months, depending on the number of bugs found.
