For those of you keen enough to download and evaluate CTP releases of the Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition products, you will be pleased to know that Microsoft have rolled out the August CTP versions for download. For those non-MSDN Subscribers out there, these are available for download on Microsoft’s public web site. (Curiously, these do not appear on the MSDN Subscribers site yet.)
