Visual .dot net 2005 status?

[Vern]

If we were to develop an app that will be completed in the first half of
2005, should we use the visual studio 2005 beta, or stay with the 2003. 2005
has some nice features, but I'm wondering how soon they're thinking of taking
it out of the beta stage, and if a live business app can be moved to
production using the 2005 beta?

I would stick with the current version for production as you have no idea if
beat features will be there when the app is finally released. If I recall
he licensing for beta's you cant take them into production anyway.
