Microsoft Readies Visual Studio .Net 2003

"In April, Microsoft plans to release Visual Studio.Net 2003, which is updated to exploit the built-in Web services capabilities in Microsoft's Windows Server 2003. The company this week released the second and final testing version of Visual Studio.Net 2003, which is code-named Everett."
Among the things the article does not mention is the fact that the .Net Compact Framework should finally be released along with VS .Net 2003. One remarkable statistic in the article, however, concerns the rapid adoption of .Net as a development environment:
"A survey of professional developers found that one-third of systems integrators and value-added resellers expect that more than half of their applications will be written for .Net by next year. The number of developers who say that more than half of their company's applications will be written for .Net is expected to climb from 12 percent now to 25 percent a year from now, according to Evans Data."
