Visual Studio "Orcas" has a name

It's official: Microsoft has decided to name Visual Studio's forthcoming "Orcas" version simply as Visual Studio 2008. The announcement was made at the TechEd 2007 conference. Although the name is far from surprising, I do like it. It follows the trend set by other Microsoft products (like Office, SQL Server and server operating systems), and most of all, keeps things simple. The products pages on MSDN are not yet updated, but I'd imagine they'd soon be.
