Visual Studio 2010 RC unleashed
9 Feb2010
Waiting for Visual Studio 2010 RC to arrive? Guess what, it has just landed. Visual Studio team were true to their words. The interesting thing about the just launched release candidate for Visual Studio 2010 is that it comes with a go-live license that will be of use to those who want to deploy it in their production environments. Download link after the jump.
The release candidate is currently available for MSDN subscribers only. Wait – there is good news for MSDN subscribers as well, the RC version will be available to general public starting from 10th February.
As always, Microsoft is looking for your valuable feedback to ensure that the final version when shipped is the most efficient and robust one.

I installed the VS 2010 RC. Everything is fine; however, the install Help button is very unresponsive. I had to click it couple of time, and it did not give me any feedback even after waiting for minutes. Then finally I had to press FINISH button to come out. I looked in the task manager, but there was no clue if the help was being installed. Then after about five minutes the first dialog box for help installation popped up from nowhere. This really needs to be fixed, at least there should be a pop up that help installation dialog box will appear in (say) five minutes.

Also just installed the VS 2010 RC. The install help button for me paused a short while then continued. I only clicked it once then closed the main installer.
After a short while the help installer came up and allowed me to select libraries I wanted locally. I clicked through the dialog to finish the installer.
After launching VS I tried pressing F1 which was very fast, even on the first load. I selected online help which now launches directly into my web browser (which is awesome).
