Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 – Setup Screenshots

  • Article

Today I’ve installed Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 Ultimate on a VHD-booted machine.

The new version of our development tool is based on Windows Presentation Foundation, which means that a lot of new flexibility (e.g. diagrams within the code editor) are possible. VS 2010 comes together with .NET 4 Beta 2.

There’s also a new logo and design for the tool.

MSDN Subscribers can get the public beta 2 on www.msdn.com (which is also redesigned), the rest of you will have to wait until Wednesday.

See below the screenshots of the installation:
