Finally, long awaited Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Release Candidate with .Net Framework 4.0 and ASP.Net 4.0 was made publically available on 10th Feb, 2010.
I downloaded and installed it successfully, and only thing I can say it is far far batter then its previous beta releases. Still i feel it is slow compared it to VS2008, but new features and new look are worth it. It took about 4 hours to uninstall Beta2, download .ISO file of about 2.5 gb and install VS2010, but process was smooth.
It has an awesome, new sober look and feel with WPF-based UI and improved focus on writing, understanding, navigating, debugging and publishing the code.
Gradually I see that Visual Studio is evolving as a platform in itself. One can complete all coding, modeling, testing, debugging, and deployment work without leaving the Visual Studio 2010 environment
