David,

>We are beginning to work with Visual Studio 2005 beta and was wondering if MM framework can be used in that venue? Is there a way we can register the framework so the tools are available? Is there any problems to watch out for?

The problem is registration of MM .NET builders and wizards with the new version. Although the main assemblies and most of the builders SHOULD work with 2005, you won't be able to create a new project. That said, you could create a new project in 2002 and then open it in 2005.

Regards,
