Rumors have been flying everywhere that Microsoft's Visual Studio 2005 will be RTM (Released to Manufacturing) and on MSDN in a matter of days. Orginally thought to be on MSDN for download on October 14th, the release supposedly got slipped because the final RC build failed a regression test.

Many developers are hopeful that it will be released weeks before the official marketing launch to get a head start on coding. Note that this information is straight from the mouth from the VP of Development on Visual Studio 2005.
