Sorry :P excuse the excitement, but the VS .NET final is released to MSDN subscribers!! MSDN subscribers can download now, or wait for the next isntallment of their MSDN CD's.

Non MSDN subscribers can download the final runtime now also.

Also of note, the final redsitributable users of your apps need is 21 megs also available at that link. You obviously would not want your users to have to download the much bigger SDK. I think the flexability and power we get outways the framework size. And truthfully, 21 megs is really not that much to download these days. Even a 56k can probably do it over night.

Do you know if solutions from release candidates will work under the final Framework release?

I agree the 21MB isn't so bad. I mainly develop desktop apps anyways, so the size is largely irrelevent (as long as it fits on a CD!).

Assuming you didnt use an namespaces/classes that might have had some changes(not very many have) all you need to do is recompile.
