Soon, maybe.  :-)

It's code-named Orcas.

In this case, it's just a codename for the next Visual Studio. Actually
orcas is plural, and would refer to a pod of Killer Whales (Orcinus orca).
Why name a development tool after carnivorous marine mammals? I have no
idea.

Orcas is the name of an island off of the Washington coast, each revision of
VS (.NET) has been codenamed an island, I understand that each island has
been a little further away from MS with each revision of VS.

What's worse is that the "RTM" MS tool for editing MSI files is named
"Orca".

Actually, not. An Orcas is a killer whale, more closely related to a dolphin
with BIG teeth that's likely to bite you in the (ahem) if you don't treat it
nicely.

Not for a while. Early estimates are for late this year or early next year,
but given the previous delays I wouldn't count on that <s>...

Q4 2007 is the last I heard. Frankly, in MSFT anything beyond 6 months is
infinité.
