Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional Special Edition Description:

Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional Special Edition review:
5 stars (Which is the ultimate version?) - If this is the "penultimate" (second to last), then what is the newest version? Is 2007 out yet? If not, then 2003 is the ultimate version, and 2002 is the penultimate.
4 stars (Not Much of An Upgrade from VS 2002) - Microsoft has released another version of its penultimate Integrated Development Environment. Forgive me if I am not as excited as I was for 2002. I love Visual Studio and I love .NET, but there just isn't enough "new" in 2003 to warrant spending money on a new Visual Studio.



With VS 2007 coming out next year, if you are already using VS 2002, just wait for 2007. If you're still in the pre-.NET days (e.g. VS 6), spend the time better training and preparing yourself for the upgrade.
