As Soma announced on his blog this morning, Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 have just launched!  The Visual Studio team has been working on this release for more than two years and we’re extremely proud to announce the availability of the final RTM build!

MSDN Subscribers can download Visual Studio 2010 later today from MSDN, and non-MSDN subscribers can go here to get a copy of Visual Studio 2010.  For those that want to take a test-drive, a 90-day trial version of all Visual Studio 2010 products can be downloaded here.  Also, for the hobbyist developer, the free Visual Studio 2010 Express products are now available as well.

As always, we’re excited to hear your thoughts on this release.  Please make sure to send your feedback via Connect or post comments to this blog.

Download and enjoy!
