I'm hearing February. Can anyone confirm this?

If it's six months after MSs claimed date you are probably correct. The training company we use is issueing MCSD courses in the first quarter of 2002 for vbnet etc so you are probably correct

Microsoft included all functionality in the latest beta release, so it's unlikely they'll miss their release date by too much. They're also predicting slower sales for that quarter I hear, so that'd be a good time for a sale boost.

Windows XP was released ahead of schedule, so maybe even before then.

**GasDrinker** · Oct 9th, 2001, 09:09 PM

Only to select OEMS. XP still has 15 days, 16 hours, 50 minutes and 30 seconds 'till public release.

**filburt1** · Oct 9th, 2001, 09:24 PM

Liar! It has 15 days 16 hours 39 minutes and 6 seconds left! Go stand in the corner!

**GasDrinker** · Oct 9th, 2001, 09:26 PM

Sorry Mr. Talabac

VB.Net is being release at the end of October for MSDN subscribers (Gold Edition).

The release date for the general public is February.

Being an MSDN subscriber, I guess I'm one of the lucky ones!!!

Can you confirm this MSDN release date.
Did this come from your MSDN subscription?

C# XML documentor. VB.NET wants you too.

i heard they were releasing XP early because it may help them avoid some complications in the lawsuit or something...?

**filburt1** · Oct 13th, 2001, 08:28 PM

Java-related?

**sail3005** · Oct 13th, 2001, 09:16 PM

no, the DOJ thing, with the monopoly

**numtel** · Oct 14th, 2001, 08:42 PM

i want to be an msdn subscriber but it costs too much, m$ needs to make cheeper software.

**kovan** · Oct 14th, 2001, 09:56 PM

what do you get if your an msdn subscriber?

**Hawk** · Oct 15th, 2001, 01:10 AM

Rob Burgess is correct. Our company is working hand and hand with Microsoft consultants. The release date is end of October. Beta 2 has tons of bugs.

By the way, what is the difference among java2, javascript, and java serverside pages?

**Rob Burgess** · Oct 15th, 2001, 05:14 AM

Yes, we are keeping close contact with microsoft. The have confirmed to use that it will be release by the end of october (for subscribers).

I feel that although there are numerous bugs in beta 2, there are no fundermental ones that can hold up production.

**JoshT** · Oct 15th, 2001, 07:25 AM

what do you get if your an msdn subscriber?

If you pay the full $$$ for Universal, you get developer copies of all MS OSes, .Net Server (SQL, Exchange, etc), Office Dev., VS Enterprise, Visio, etc) plus 4 support incidents.

Java-related?

And I heard someone was going to bring Java to .Net???

**Rob Burgess** · Oct 15th, 2001, 07:35 AM
