By now I’m sure everyone knows that the release candidate for Visual Studio 2010 has been launched into the wild and can now be downloaded form the Microsoft Visual Studio website.

I’ve spent some time tonight removing Beta 2 and installing the RC and I have to admit that I’m quite surprised at just how smoothly it’s all gone. The whole process was more or less identical to moving from Beta 1 to Beta 2 which is something I’ve covered in depth before.

First impressions are that the RC is significantly faster than the beta’s and just feels a little more polished. With a bit of luck I’ll get to try some of the latest MVC bits out over the next few days as I’ve fallen a little behind with the last few releases.
