Re: Release date and stability of .NET framework 2.0 (and VS)

AFAIK there is no firm date for official release of 2.0 yet but I would hope
MS can get it out by the end of this year.

They have a "go live" license now for the current beta so if your app is
strictly for in-house use I don't see a problem. Just Google "go live
license" for more info.
