Kicking Myself Over Visual Studio 2008 RTM

So you can now (as of yesterday actually assuming you can get on the server) get hold of VS2008 RTM in all its glory (and it is glorious!). What a time to find out that my MSDN subscription has lapsed....

If you haven't had a chance to look at the VS2008 (and of course .NET Fx 3.5) ingredients then now might be a good time - even if you don't plan on building Fx 3.5 apps in the near future, the multi-targeting feature in VS2008 allows you to target Fx 2.0 / 3.0 and 3.5 projects and websites and enjoy the new IDE and languages features in all of them.

If you're a web developer then the enhanced designer (massive improvements around CSS support, introduction of split view and support for nested master pages) as well as JavaScript Intellisense improvements will make you wonder how you ever coped before. Seriously, it is really nice.

Hence the reason I'm kicking myself that I can't get access to the bits.... :-(
