XNA Game Studio 2.0 and Visual Studio 2008 Posted by XanTium | August 15 00:28 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From letskilldave.com (FYI: MS owned blog): We'll probably make it a FAQ on the XNA Creators Club Online website, but I thought I'd offer some clarification: By the time XNA Game Studio 2.0 most likely releases, Visual Studio 2008 will not be officially released, but will still be in beta or release candidate form.  For this reason we won't be releasing support for VS08 when Game Studio 2.0 is released.  HOWEVER... this scenario is similar to what happened last year with Windows Vista.  We released XNA GSE, but it didn't work with Windows Vista.  We followed up in a few months with a refresh that included compatibility with Windows Vista.  That is the "most likely" scenario for XNA Game Studio 2.0.  So...yes, we appreciate the fact that you love Visual Studio 2008, but we will need you to have a little patience.  The good news is that VS08 and VS05 will work side-by-side, so you're all set.

which it is... first thing you see when you visit the VS 2005 site.

my class this semester (final semester before i get my AAS) is based on VB2005 and im really excited to hopefully gain some knowledge i can apply to some form of game development.

The various organizations I'm involved with are just now starting to use 2005! I can't believe 2008 is almost (read: within a year) out.
