MSDN Released Visual Studio 2008 RTM to all MSDN Subscribers. I’m downloading the 3.1GB iso right now.
I’ll give a mini-review after i’ve had time to play with it over the Thanksgiving holiday.

I came across something new for the first time today. Dynamic SQL with output parameters.
Here is how you do it in MSSQL.
DECLARE @totals INT
EXEC sp_executesql N’SELECT @totalCount = count(*) from sysobjects’, N’@totalCount INT OUTPUT’, @totals OUTPUT
print ‘Totals: ‘ + convert(varchar,@totals)

Well you know you are an extreme geek when you are excited for a new release of an IDE.
I’m really looking forward to the integrated AJAX tools and the built in MVC framework.
