Visual Studio "11" Beta on MSDN

Happy March! This months brings us the beta version of the next Visual Studio release, currently titled "Visual Studio 11". As we are already at a beta release, I think it's very likely we will see the RTM version appearing later this year. But time will tell, of course.

This time around, the look and feel of the Visual Studio development environment has been updated to more "WPF-like" visuals, bringing some of that Metro touch to development. I've only had a very brief chance to test the new beta so far, but I'm looking to continue my investigation in the next coming days.

In the meantime, be sure to read an MSDN blog entry on the new features. Reading the post is time well spent.
