So, now you are comfortable with Visual Studio 2005, right? But hey don’t worry it is not the end of this world! If you are ready for the next jump, then you can try out ‘Orcas’. Yes, you guessed it right. This is the forthcoming version of Visual Studio. Microsoft has released its September CTP and it is available for download here:

This CTP is available only as a virtual PC image. So, go ahead and try it without crashing your current installation of VS2005. ;)
As expected, it is compatible with Vista and Office 2007. And it will probably get shipped in late 2007 or early 2008. So, don’t worry, you have lot of time to play around with it.
On a high level note, this CTP includes partial support for C# 3.0 and VB.NET 9.0 with improvements to .NET Framework. It seems to be tightly integrated with Team system and allows you to debug vista applications. You can expect to do lot of wonders with it because it is also compatible with Office 2007. I will try to play around more with it so that all of us will be ready to welcome its next CTP. :)
Cheers,
Amol
