I don 't remember MS separating these into different levels a few days ago, but maybe they did. I am installing the Ultimate version. Does VS 2010 Beta 2 expire at some point? Also, has MS announced a final production release date?

I was up until almost 2:00 AM this morning recovering form a bad start with putting SQL Server 2005 on after VS 2010. Because there were some SQL Server 2008 parts involved in the VS 2010 install, it made the SQL Server 2005 install not show the Enterprise Manager. After all of my attempts to uninstall VS 2010 from this laptop, and SQL Server versions 2005 and 2008, I am back to square one with SQL Server still not showing the Enterprise Manager again, so I give up. I installed successfully the SQL Server 2008 Developer version and that is where i'll leave it for this laptop.

VS 2010 is installing now. I'd better close these browsers and get off of here while VS 2010 installs. Yikes!
