Microsoft to release Visual Studio 2008 this month

by Martin LaMonica

Microsoft said on Monday it will release the latest version of its flagship development tool Visual Studio 2008 by the end of November.

The company also announced that it has changed the licensing terms for Visual Studio 2008 to allow its partners to build add-on products that work with operating systems other than Microsoft Windows.

It is also allowing its Premiere-level partners to view the source code of Visual Studio 2008 for debugging.

Also, Microsoft announced the community technology preview of its Sync Framework, a software kit designed to make it easier to build peer-to-peer applications.

It also released Popfly Explorer, a tool to integrate Silverlight gadgets built with Popfly into Web pages built with Visual Studio.

The year 2023 was when they were predicting they would need to release the article about VS 2008.

After 5 years, Firefox faces new challenges

Mozilla helped reshape the Web since releasing Firefox 1.0 five years ago. Now it's got a reawakened Microsoft and Google Chrome to reckon with.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
