Microsoft is offering the first look at the company's latest .Net and Visual Studio releases.The company has announced the newest versions of both developer tools, known as .Net Framework 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010. No official release dates for either product were given.
Team working will be the main focus for Visual Studio 2010. Microsoft plans to upgrade the collaboration and testing tools for the development suite, along with introducing a new modeling tool that is designed to allow non-technical users to model and understand the way in which a new application may function.
"With Visual Studio 2010 and the .NET Framework 4.0, we are focused on the core pillars of developer experience, support for the latest platforms spanning client, server, services and devices, targeted experiences for specific application types, and core architecture improvements," said Soma Somasegar, senior vice president of Microsoft's developer division.

I was pretty excited about some of the stuff he was showing off.
i bet it will be in Win7ows along with DX11 , IE8 ....etc
From what I know, MS is planning to ditch the Win32 api (at least for the editor portion) and going with something else using one of their new graphic api's I think. So, the editor will be graphics accelerated. Not sure what else they have planned.

Sounds like maybe WPF... that could be nifty...

I very much doubt they'd ever drop the winforms designer. They'll likely be seriously improving ( It needs it! ) the WPF designer, though.

Yes, that's it. I had forgotten the name. At least, I think that was what he said. It would be graphics accelerated though to provide better performance.

These small 16x16 icons are impossible to see on high definition resolutions, while the Ribbon interface makes it a lot more clear.
I can't wait to see that... even if in 3-4 months I'll stop doing VB because it's just for school and what I want to program in fact is stuff in XCode, I mean sometimes it's nice to see what the neighbours have to offer and compare

I dislike the annoying ribbon bar. I usually work with macro, in excel 2003 i can access and create a new macro using :menu->tools->macros->macros but in excel 2007 i still can find how to add a single macro!.

No offense, but you can't possibly be doing any heavy development and ask to get rid of 16x16 icons in favor of the ribbon interface.
I have 4 monitors hooked up to my dev box, 3 of which are running at 1920x1200, and VS needs to display a lot of information at once to maximize efficiency. Still with that setup, every portion of my desktop is covered in various windows. I'm fine with the old-fashioned toolbar paradigm and I'll be majorly ****ed if they go for the space-wasting ribbon whose sole purpose, ultimately, is to duplicate menus (which are a lot more space-efficient). If I need a seldom-used function, I'll dig it out of the menu, thank you very much. Don't waste space drawing pretty translucid animated buttons and what-not in a development environment.

Well .. the last Visual Studio release before Visual Studio 2008 was Visual Studio 2005. So by your logic we should ask "what happened to Visual Studio 2006/2007?" .. right?
It is kind of pointless to release an IDE every year, don't you think so?
There is also video discussing this on MSDN Channel 9 @ http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Dan/Norman-...am-System-2010/
Apparently they cannot decide how to pronounce it - two thousand and ten, or twenty ten.
Personally, as Mike Taulty says, it should be Visual Studio 10, which makes sense since the current 2008 IDE is Version 9, so 10 will go nicely with the version number and the year of release

I guess the problem with you is that you know nothing Simple and true.
You didn't even have to 'rewrite' everything. Most of the time, old code would 'just work', or have to be tweaked a little to go from 1.1 to 2.0. You'd get a ton of Obsolete warnings, but it still worked.
