    VS is an excellent ide. Beats the hell out of any
    other one for any language out there.
    Kind of wish they had refactoring for C++, J# and VB
    in 2005.

    What I want to know is when Visual Studio codename Hawaii will be released, not this bolted on crap. Remind you of Windows Millenium anyone?
