Release the Hounds

Visual Studio 2005 has officially shipped! If you're an MSDN Universal Subscriber, and you have more bandwidth than God, then you should be able to download it right now. If you're an unlucky sap like me, you'll have to wait a few weeks before the boxed sets become available. I'll be going to a launch event here in Milwaukee early December where they're giving away copies of VS2005 to all attendees... so if you can make one, I highly suggest you go.

For those of you who installed Beta editions of VS2005, you'll have to go through a 23 step uninstall procedure before installing the official version. If that seems mind numbingly awful to you, I would suggest this tool (thanks Chris).
