Purchase Visual studio 2008

Goodmorning,
within year-end I must buy some licences of Visual Study 2005, and I
cannot wait for the escape of Visual Study 2008... Someone knows if they
are available "promotions " or other that concur, with the purchase of
every licence of 2005, the successive upgrade to 2008? (obviously
comprised in the price and not paying the upgrade subsequently!)
Thanks

There are none currently, AFAIK. As the release date for VS 2008, watch for
announcements.
You can also contact your local Microsoft office by phone and ask if they
have any information.

In principle, you can start with Beta 2 that includes a go-live
license, which allows developers to use it in production. Otherwise,
you have to buy VS 2005 because Visual Studio 2008 definitely will be
released some time in 2008. Microsoft told about the official launch
date on February 27, 2008, but it's not guaranteed to be available on
that time

They wouldn't wait another year for that, this is for sure.

Sorry, was being slightly facetious...

Latest I've heard is that it will most probably be made available to large
corporates and MSDN subscribers (like Vista was) in December 2007 and then
to retail around February...

I have it already installed (Beta 2), it looks good. So, I think we
could expect RTM very soon

Yes indeed - I've been using it for a little while now as I'm assistingwith
a forthcoming book on ASP.NET 3.5...

I've got it running in a virtual machine, though - not taking any chances...

After all the funny business the 2005 beta did to my laptop, I concur.
Never, ever, run MS beta software on a machine you can't afford to
wipe and scratch install.
