Well if it is very specific day, then why doesn't Microsoft let everyone know? Unless of course it might not be ready by that time, in which case you can't claim that Microsoft really knows when it will be ready.

In regards to the stability of Beta 2, that's great, but I bought VS 2003 weeks before Beta 2 came out, and at the time I couldn't find any definite information on Beta 2 or the full release of VS 2005.

I'm not really upset by any of this, but it's definitely not the ideal case when Microsoft can't publish firm release dates for it's products...
