Is Visual Studio 2008 still beta or is the production release ready to
be downloaded from MSDN now?

Will it open and automatically upgrade VB 2003 projects?

I understand I can use it to maintain 2005 programs without upgrading
them. Correct?

Can I install it on my pc with 2003 and 2005 without keeping those
versions from working?
 
VS2008 was released a few weeks ago to MSDN in RTM form... and 2005 and 2008
work side by side at least
 
Hi Cj,

VS 2008 has been released and you can get VS 2008 RTM (professional) from
the MSDN subscriber download center:

Steven , AFAIK this depends on your MSDN subscription i for instance have a
Team system version of VS 2008 availlable for download
( even bether we have everything already installed on our dev systems and
are bussy to upgrade all our VS 2005 team system projects )

regards

Michel
