Microsoft plans to deliver the Beta 2 bits of Visual Studio 2008 (�Orcas�) later this week, according to Scott Guthrie, General Manager of Microsoft’s Developer Division.

“You’ll see Beta2 ship later this week - so only a few more days now,� Guthrie posted, in response to a reader comment, on July 23. “VS 2008 and .NET 3.5 Beta2 (which will be out later this week) are pretty much feature complete. We’ll do some small features additions/chanegs based on new feedback on Beta2, but 99% of the features are all there.�

Visual Studio 2008 is Microsoft’s latest family of development tools aimed at Windows Vista, Office 2007 and Windows Server 2008 developers. New features include the LINQ (Language Integrated Query) functionality; a Windows Presentation Foundation visual designer; and an updated version (3.5) of the .Net Framework.
