The Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Release Candidate was released last week to MSDN subscribers. Microsoft promised back then that the download would be made available to the public shortly afterwards. Microsoft kept the promise and downloads are now available for the public as well.
Visual Studio 2010 offers many improvements over the current retail version Visual Studio 2008. It features a redesigned streamlined IDE that has been optimized for multiple document windows and multi-monitors. The new version of Visual Studio comes with The Microsoft .net Framework 4.0 which is currently also available as a release candidate.
Other additions include integrated support for developing Microsoft Silverlight applications, parallel computing enhancements and support for IBM DB2 and Oracle databases.
Interested users can take a look at the official Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 website for additional information about the changes and additions of that new version.
