Orcas March 2007 CTP VPC Released

Microsoft Downloads - Microsoft Pre-release Software Visual Studio Code Name "Orcas" - March 2007 Community Technology Preview (CTP)

"...

This download is the March 2007 Community Technology Preview of Microsoft Visual Studio Code-Named “Orcas”. This CTP is available in English only.

The updates in this CTP are just too numerous to post here... Many of the cool VB9 features are now implemented (XML Literals, etc).

I still expect Orcas/VS2007(or will it be VS2008? I'll bet on VS2007... To keep within the two year cycle...) to be released (or at least its released will  announced and the code will be gold) at this year's PDC. I

It just makes sense (to me at least) to release the next VS at PDC, doesn't it? (Wouldn't it be cool to get a new VS at each PDC, i.e. once every two years?)
