In case you hadn’t noticed, today has been a busy day in Redmond uploading new bits to the download servers. The following are now available for download:

• Visual Studio Orcas Beta 2
• Visual Web Developer Orcas Beta 2
• Silverlight 1.1 Alpha Refresh
• Microsoft Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2
• Microsoft ASP.NET Futures (July 2007)

We’ll have more blog posts in the next week or so showing off the new features, so download and tell us what you think.

IMPORTANT RELNOTE: If you are doing ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 development with VS 2005, you should run this script after installing VS 2008 Beta2 to ensure that the installation of .NET Framework 3.5 Beta 2 will not affect development in VS 2005.  You should do this immediately after installing VS Beta 2.  See this post for more details.
