Well for MSDN Subscribers, Visual Studio 2010 Beta is live and available.

Jason Short posted a blog over here about it.

Some of the new features he stated:

  • .Net 4.0
  • Cloud Development - Windows Azure which is basically utility computing where you pay by the hour for your usage.
  • Parallel Development - Not sure if this only means PLINQ for .Net developers or if they are only talking about C++ devs.  
  • TDD Improvements - Editor changes for building test cases first, and then writing the code.
  • ASP.NET - CSS grids and design surfaces changes, more Javascript debugging improvements.
  • C++ Compiler - Lots of changes for C++ development, including MFC.
  • Sharepoint templates 
  • New Project Templates
  • Windows 7 - MFC updates for Ribbon UI, and WPF changes.
  • Application Model Changes - Reverse existing codebases, and lots of changes in Architect Edition to support more model types (including Class Libraries finally).
  • Test Runner - This is potentially huge as it allows testers to submit bug reports complete with callstacks and traces that you can actually use to resume an app at the error point to avoid the dreaded No Repro on bug reports.

Here the offical site, and the VS 2010 MSDN Channel with videos.

 

The last feature, Test Runner, sounds awesome!
