Now that Beta 2 is out I can talk more freely about what is happening with the .NET Framework. The most visible changes are the installation size, speed, and error rate of the Framework. There are also a lot of great new features
Today Microsoft announced that the Beta 2 of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 will be released. If you have MSDN subscriptions you can downloaded now. Otherwise it will be available on Wednesday publically.
