As some of you may know, beta testing for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET CodeName Everett has begun. Kits have already been shipped out for a good majority of the testers, including all eight CD's with documentation.

The current kit, Beta 1, includes the following CD's:
  • Visual Studio .NET Prerequisites
  • Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect CD1/CD2
  • Visual Studio .NET MSDN Library For Enterprise Architect CD1/2/3
  • Microsoft Visio for Enterprise Architect
  • Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 6.0D
Compared to Microsoft Visual Studio .NET the install time almost doubled on my machine. As you can tell, there's 8 CD's in this release, compared to 7 in the first. Total install time was a little over 1 hour, including the optional programs, Visio for Visual Studio .NET, and Visual SourceSafe 6.0D.
