Has anyone tried C# 3.0 and the new VS Orcas? I have an approximate image on what's new from what I've read in the last months but I'm wandering if anyone got to give it a spin.

I was going to try it out until I read all the warnings about installing this and that and when a new version comes out needing to uninstall things and then reinstall other things. It looked like a web of stuff to install/uninstall and I didn't want to do that on my work machine.

But I was just thinking about it again yesterday. My boss keeps thinking we should perhaps look into it and I will be reading a book on XAML when he remembers to bring it back to work.

Microsoft has some .NET 3.0 Virtual Labs I will probably check out. I really like the labs and they don't require you to install the environment on your machine.

I think Mack has mentioned he has .NET 3.0 on his computer. Not sure what he is using with 3.0. I am interested in Calin's question as well. Anyone actually installed and using yet?

That's why I didn't install it either.

Sounds interesting although I'm not sure what this "Virtual Labs" thing do =]. I tried to register and it looks like some sort of webcast.
