At VSLive next week, Microsoft will release Preview 2, or the second alpha version of the Visual Studio 2005, code-named Whidbey, CRN has learned. While Microsoft acknowledged that the release date for the newly named Visual Studio 2005 has slipped until early next year, the software giant also is readying the first beta of Visual Studio 2005 for release at Tech Ed 2004 in May, sources close to the company said. The first alpha preview of Whidbey was handed out at the company's Professional Developer's Conference in Los Angeles last October.
