Last night I got some time to start playing with the Beta 1 of Visual Studio 2005 which was code named Whidbey. I got some requests for screen shots and I have uploaded a few. To me these are of not too much value because I have shots of the installation process itself and some initial screen shots of VS.NET 2005 but I don’t cover the real improvements - trust me the “meat” of it will follow soon. The main purpose I am uploaded these here are because a lot of you do get excited seeing this. Let me know if you want to see something specific and keep a lookout here for my take on all the new stuff.

Also, I picked most of the default settings and have c# as my primary language set. I also installed SQL Server 2005 Express and have some shots of that too.
