I've been waiting for this moment since mid-February!
Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 is available on MSDN for subscribers!
After about 5 hours I'm at 50% of that 3GB VS 2005 Standard Beta 2 download and I hope to start installing it when I wake up this morning.
This is very exciting as recent CTPs did not have all features. The Professional Edition is not on the MSDN Downloads list yet but hopefully it'll become available sometime this weekend too.
I'm going to test the Beta 2 and as soon as I get a confirmation that Beta 2 has Go Live license I will install it on vbCity.
