Monday, June 4, Microsoft announced during the TechEd 2007 conference in Orlando, Florida, that Visual Studio code-named ‘Orcas’ was renamed Visual Studio 2008. They also announced that a second beta version will be available by the end of the summer, and it will include Visual Studio Shell, which allows developers to create an distribute tools built on top of Visual Studio.
Though Microsoft still plans (or hopes) to release it later this year, it is expected to be purchased by most companies and people in 2008, hence the name. Or at least that’s what they said. Personnaly, I think this is a hint that it will only be released at the beginning of 2008. I guess, we will see.
