Microsoft has set a new date for the launch
of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework
4: April 12.
In a blog post from Jan. 13, Rob Caron,
a Microsoft developer evangelist, said the software giant plans to deliver Visual
Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 on April 12, a few weeks later than
originally planned.
In a blog post from December, S. "Soma" Somasegar, senior vice
president of Microsoft's Developer Division, informed developers that Microsoft
would be taking a little extra time to hone and test the performance of the new
releases.
Microsoft released Beta 2 of its flagship developer tools suite in October
of 2009, along with the second beta of the .NET
Framework 4. And the company said then that it was on track to deliver final
versions of both technologies by March 22, 2010.
Visual Studio 2010 features built-in tools for Windows 7 and Microsoft
SharePoint 2010, new drag-and-drop bindings for Silverlight and Windows
Presentation Foundation (WPF), and interoperability with technologies such as
the database, ASP.NET model view controller,
Unified Modeling Language (UML), Microsoft Expression and multicore.
