Has anyone heard of an actual ship date. I know the subscriptions are
available but I am looking for the boxed version. Does anyone find it strange that MS anounced the release date of 11/7/05 months ago and they still aren't shipping the product. I just got an email stating the VS 2005 Developer 90 day trail will ship on 12/27/05. Maybe they should have called it VS 2006.

Visual Studio is not the type of general audience product you'll find at places like Best Buy. FWIW, I know for a fact that Programmers Paradise was selling VS 2005 Pro in the Box as of November 10, 2005 because I have an acquaintance who ordered it on that date and took delivery on November 14th. Sorry but you're wrong. None ot the retailers you mentioned have delivered a
boxed version of VS 2005 to date. Go check out the websites and you'll find delivery 4-5 + weeks. Most don't expect delivery until late December. I received an email today from MS stating the delivery date has been changed to 12/27/05. Check with your friend and see if he didn't order the subscription?

Programmers Paradise (www.programmersparadise.com) has VS 2005 Pro / MSDN on their site, I added it to a shopping cart, and it let me continue with the checkout. No mention of any delay. Component Source (www.componentsource.com) has Visual Studio 2005 listed, but in red lettering they have a note, that they won't ship until Dec 14th. Perhaps others who know of other dev tool vendors can check as well.
