I don't know. It just seemed like an odd choice. That wasn't meant to flame anyone. Doesn't Microsoft have servers to download it from? It was just confusing me. My apologies for the misunderstanding!
So what is the news? That it's actually finished? Great now we should get a leak soon. No reason for anyone who has this, unless you work for MS, to not leak it. The only person who deserves praise will be the leaker.
wow... you would die from a heart attack if you used some 3d design or related 3d software i have used; some of their UIs are ugly as hell but whats important is their features and what i can do with it so UI is not important in the end. but anyway, VS11 doesn't look so bad and its nice to know Beta is coming with Win8 CP and .NET 4.5. if i was an expert programmer i would give it a try
Even if you are NOT an expert progrrammer, having the ne plus omega of dev tools at your beck is pretty darn suite. I'm hoping they do with the Consumer Preview what they did with the Developer Preview (a near kitchen-sink ISO with both).
