This is great news!  In addition to the news that Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 is now out for download for MSDN Subscribers, we also announced that we are changing the product offering line up for Visual Studio 2010. 

Team editions are gone and in their place is a single uber-SKU. MSDN Subscriptions as an add on to Visual Studio are gone – integrated instead into a SKU.  Visual Studio Standard is gone (we sold very little of this – most people opting for Visual Studio Professional instead).

So what does this mean for you if you already own Visual Studio 2008 with MSDN?

Good news!  If you have a valid MSDN Premium Subscription as at March 22, 2010, you will automatically get upgraded.

In addition to all this, all MSDN Subscribers will gain access to Team Foundation Server 2010 when it ships.

So – if you don’t have a MSDN Subscription today, go buy one and watch it blossom into a upgraded SKU when Visual Studio 2010 ships!
