A friend of mine, Jim Wooley, asked me if I noticed the download of the next version of Visual Studio, code named “Orcas”, to be slow? Now I may be the slow one this, but I didn’t even know Orcas was out to be publicly downloaded. I guess I just missed that email. =)
Anyway it sounds like it was released Wednesday and it has been difficult to download since so good luck.

Let me know if anyone has had luck using it yet!
