Today Microsoft announced release of Beta 2 of visual studio 2010 and .net framework 4. This is immediately available to all MSDN subscribers.

Most importantly this release also includes “go-live” license which means you can start using the products for production projects.

Interesting thing to note was availability of TFS basic edition. Seems to me that a lot of functionality has been stripped out of the full fledged version of TFS and put on diet to serve the needs of small developers who would just like to work on small projects shared between small group.
