A couple of Microsoft bloggers have clarified Microsoft's developer division's release schedule for its interim "Community Technology Preview" (CTP) builds of Visual Studio 2005 (a k a "Whidbey"). Last week, Microsoft released to Microsoft Developer Network subscribers the November CTP build of Visual Studio Standard Edition. A December CTP build of Visual Studio Team System is set for December. Still no definitive word on when Beta 2 will hit. We're wagering February.
