VS.NET 2003 is the current version of Microsoft Visual Studio.
What's new:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/productinfo/overview/whatsnew.aspx
Big items are :
- mobile device support
- targets .NET Framework v1.1
- new data providers
VS.NET 2003 is available in the same channels as VS.NET 2002 -
- retail (buy a box at your local store or on amazon.com, etc)
- volume licensing via Microsoft
- MSDN subscription via Microsoft
If you already have VS.NET 2002 (retail), I think there is a $29 upgrade to
get VS.NET 2003. I thought it was supposed to expire in Sept 2003, so
hurry.
If you have a current MSDN subscription, then you get VS.NET 2003 for free.
If you have a current volume license agreement for VS, again I believe
VS2003 is free.
