Visual Studio .NET 2003 available April 24th...

I just received this note from MS regarding Visual Studio.NET 2003:

Dear Beta Tester,

Thank you for participating in the Beta Test program for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 and .NET Framework 1.1. We are pleased to announce that Visual Studio .NET 2003 will be available to order on April 24th, 2003. In addition, .NET Framework 1.1 will be available for download mid April. Your bug reports and suggestions for improving Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 have helped us to build a great product and will help improve future versions as well.

The BetaPlace web site and newsgroups will close on Friday, April 11th. After this date you will no longer be able to provide feedback or receive support via these avenues, however we encourage you to use the public newsgroups to communicate additional feedback you may have.

Our public newsgroups can be located at http://communities2.microsoft.com/home/default.aspx .

During the test period, we received many good bug reports and suggestions for the product. While it was not always possible to respond to every message, your feedback has been given to our development organization for consideration. Since many factors affect product design, we may not have been able to act upon all suggestions. Any feedback that we have not acted on is being considered for future versions of Microsoft Visual Studio and the .NET Framework.

Thanks again for your support of Microsoft products. We look forward to your participation in future beta tests.

The Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 Beta Team

Nothing real surprising here, but its nice to finally see an official release date!
