Visual Studio 2008 Team System Released!

[Saurabhn]

Microsoft has released Visual Studio Team System to MSDN Subscribers. It seems they are in the process of a global rollout and hence not all users are seeing the release listed.

Source: Visual Studio 2008 RTM Released

Let the download begin.

[Avi]

Yay! That's good news.

[AthemeX]

I can't wait to finally get my hands on it :D

[scumdogmillionaire]

i can't even get into subscriber downloads. msdn is getting hammered!

[Brian M. Veteran]

The downloads section keeps timing out here :(

[Malisk]

Yay, this should be good! :) Thanks for the heads up!

I knew something was happening real soon from a blog post, like sometime this week, but didn't expect it already.

It's such an interesting release with finally built-in .NET 3.0 designers for WPF/Avalon, and of course all the LINQ goodness in C# and VB.NET as part of .NET 3.5 for one thing. *drool* I also can't wait until early 2008 for Office 2007 Ribbon support and more in the "MFC Next" update from their licensing of BCGSoft's UI suite.

Hmm, I'll go take a lookie on our subscription then.

Edit: Heh, I can't even log in to our subscription page. :(

We were unable to locate the benefit that you were trying to claim in your benefit list.

And then if I go to Manage Subscriptions, I instead get:

There was an unexpected error while retrieving your benefit data and we cannot process your request.

Hm... I'll blame this on the subscription server load for now. :p

I finally got in but my account doesn't seem to have it yet. The beta is gone though.

Finally the link to download the .NET 3.5 Framework seems to be up. You can get it from .NET Framework 3.5 Runtime (Incremental download).

I think there should be -X14, not the -X13 (beta 2) release :)

But, who knows, I can be wrong.

It could be. There was no link there earlier this morning though and that one appeared around 11ish. I'll let you know when I finish downloading.

Does anybody have the VS2008 Team System SKUs? I know the Professional one is X14-26326 and the other ones begin with X14, but I can't find them online anywhere. They should be at the end of the filename if anybody has downloaded the Team Suite. I am trying to request them from my Partner Resource Center, but they havent published the catalog update which includes them and they said they need the SKU in order to look it up and give me authorization.

thnks in advance.

I thought it might be available on the Academic Alliance, but unfortunately not. :(
