Is VS2008 still beta?

[cj]

Is Visual Studio 2008 still beta or is the production release ready to
be downloaded from MSDN now?

Will it open and automatically upgrade VB 2003 projects?

I understand I can use it to maintain 2005 programs without upgrading
them. Correct?

Can I install it on my pc with 2003 and 2005 without keeping those
versions from working?

VS2008 was released a few weeks ago to MSDN in RTM form... and 2005 and 2008
work side by side at least

Steven , AFAIK this depends on your MSDN subscription i for instance have a
Team system version of VS 2008 availlable for download
( even bether we have everything already installed on our dev systems and
are bussy to upgrade all our VS 2005 team system projects )

regards

Michel
