Visual Studio 11 Beta will be released on 29th February but it's already kicking up a bit of a storm due to the very...erm...grey colour scheme (and what's with the CAPS everywhere?). I for one quite like and find useful the colour coding of the UI elements in 2010. Microsoft have stated that they're trying to keep the focus on the code window but isn't this going a little too far? ...and if true it borders on the patronising...although it's perhaps a result of design-by-focus-group ;) Of course there are lots of nice new features that should sweeten the deal as ever, including integrating many extras previously found in the VS2010 Power Pack such as improved code searching.
I'm looking forward to trying out the beta on leap day in any case!
