What our customer's say!

"VS2008 Standard Edition", I like the changes from VS2005, there is much improvement. The addition of AJAX and LINQ support is great.

"VS 2008 Review", As always, VS 2008 does not disappoint. The UI is smooth and clearly laid out. Watch out for the "uses" libraries added to the default new ASPX form - they differ from 2005's and can break some older code.

"Worthwhile upgrade", I think integrated support for linq and intellisense for javascript are enough to make this worth the price. Only problems I had involved 3rd party controls, but I think all of those issues have been resolved by the vendors now. Includes easy transition from ASP.NET 2 to 3.5 websites.
