After the initial release of the Team Suite on the MSDN, I just saw that also the VS 2008 Express Editions and the trial versions of VSTS (Professional version still to come) have been released.

In addition also the .NET Framework 3.5 is available as standalone download.

And while we are talking about VS2008 related downloads here are a few others I think are quite useful:

• Soma, Carol Grojean, Jeff Beehler announce the release of Visual Studio 2008 RTM (WMV)
• Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 Training Kit, 120Mb with labs, demos and PPTs
• VS2008 samples, if you only are interested in LINQ, LINQ to SQL, and the changes from VS2005 to VS2008

And as usual ScottGu just wrote a Quick Tour of the New Features of VS2008 and .NET 3.5.

And now, waiting for my download to complete.
