next version of Visual C++ .NET?

[beliavsky]

I am considering purchase of Visual C++ .NET Std 2003, but I wonder
when the next edition is coming out -- maybe I should wait. Any ideas?
One reason I need it is that it is a prerequisite for installing Intel
Visual Fortran, which I believe uses a Microsoft linker.

Some time next year Visual Studio 2005 will be released. I'd guess mid year
at the earliest, but that's just a guess on my part. You can go to
