Microsoft extends beta for Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4

Through the ongoing beta period of VS 2010 and .NET Framework 4, Microsoft has found some performance issues, particularly around virtual memory usage, writes S. Somasegar, SVP of Microsoft’s developer division.

While Microsoft continues to work to improve performance, Somasegar said a release candidate with a “go live” license will be available some time around February 2010. With this release as a new beta checkpoint, the release data will be pushed back a few weeks, he wrote.
