No, I can't. But you can try with Microsoft.

Hello, I have downloaded Visual Studio 2010, but I can't install. When self extractive, it display "Packed data CRC failed in VisualStudio2010CTP.vhd" Can you let me know what is wrong? Thank you, Danh Hong

Petr Vones: Are you using ClearType font smoothing? With ClearType enabled, none of the fonts should be "blurry" at all. Now, using those new fonts _without_ ClearType enabled will surely result in some blurring.

Apparently the sample app doesn't use Lucene but it has some references to Lucerne Publishing, which is probably a fake name for the payment gateway company.

OMG - if the VS is WPF based then I would have to say it Good bye. I'm absolutely unable to read those extra-blurry WPF fonts with poor rendering. I can't stand any kind of "anti-aliasing" because it is unreadable for me. Is there any option to have good old sharp Win32 GDI non-blurry fonts ?

@Krzysztof Kozmic, You asked about Spec# stuff. Given the talks I've seen so far from Anders and friends, it appears no, that's not in C#. However, I watched Scott Hanselman's PDC 2008 talk, and about 20 minutes in, he shows a sample of design-by-contract and says they'll "be in the next version of Visual Studio". I don't know what he meant by it.

Wouldn't that cause breaking changes? they won't do that just to align things up nicely

Have you seen anything about whether they have cleaned up the redundancies between WPF and WF? (DependencyObject and the like?)

Hmm, not sure that was exiting. I'm somewhat worried about the extra simplified startup screen. I also am really not sure about exactly what you pointed out with the source control. It's been about 3 years now, and the source control still has all sorts of solidity issues, and as you stated, "it cannot be trusted". The dynamic aspects and the other things though, have me somewhat interested.

As log as the change in VS2k10 doesn't get rid of block selecting/highlighting, I'll be happy.

I'm pretty sure that denoting an object as dynamic will let you call any method on it, the compiler or whatever will expect that a dynamic stated object is an IDynamicObject, and from that it expects to get the metadata back which it can use to determine the real calls to do.. Again I'm waiting until I see it in action..

The bad thing about this is that AsDynamic can probably wrap any object into an IDynamicObject. Which not just easy to use for wrong cases, it is easier to use than the right thing is. Why care about creating interface when you can call things dynamically? You can argue that this is a beginner's mistake, but I have already seen places in ASP.NET MVC where dynamic objects are misused -- and where I have to look up to the documentation to find out the names of magic properties that are required (and have no way to validate them in the future).

I noticed this, which was written in 2005, but still quite a nice read: [http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/concept_ide.aspx](http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/concept_ide.aspx)

Skipping to 4 probably to avoid confusion.. I figured they would do dynamics this way.. I can't fully envision how it works yet - need some examples.

I'm not happy with what I see about dynamic in C# I hoped it would be "cast" to dynamic object on the caller side, and callee would use the object via duck typing unaware of its true nature. Is there any DBC-spec#-like stuff there?

Yeah - The VS2010 shell is going WPF, so that gives coll features like ctrl-scrolling to zoom text. You can also do cool WPF extensions to the text editor. Sweet stuff. Didn't know this was out in the public yet and not NDA.
