We finally have the much anticipated Beta 1 bits of Visual Studio 2005.
The release is exciting as it allows me to better justify the time I spend
playing with the bits. The concerning thing is that I will be extremely
tempted to start developing projects using these bits, and since we don't have a
Go Live license, well we're not really allowed. As I mentioned in previous
posts I do a fair number of "side projects." Many of these projects are
for smaller companies with ineffiencies in their processes or related busienss
problems that a couple small applications could help improve. The nature
of the clients is such that I could (if I was allowed) use beta bits for the
projects. Needless to say I'm looking forward to the next beta and
hopefully the Go Live license that will come with it.
