Beyond .NET 2.0/3.0

[Bob Johnson]

I'm planning to upgrade a bunch of .NET 1.1 projects to 2.0/3.0. But before
I do that I am wondering if it might make sense to wait until then next
version of the framework is released. Is there an ETA on that? Is the next
version even in Beta yet?

Thanks!

Visual Studio "Orcas", now known as Visual Studio 2008, includes .NET
Framework 3.5. Don't let the weird numbering fool you, while 3.0 is just an
add-on to 2.0, 3.5 is the next major version.
VS 2008 is in Beta 1 and due to be released (nothing official) ~ at the new
year.
You can download and try VS 2008 Beta 1 here:
