Visual Studio 2010 CTP now available

Coinciding with the 2008 PDC, the first Visual Studio 2010 CTP is now available for download.

At first glance, it includes a few interesting things for C++:

  • Partial C++0x support: lambda expressions, rvalue references, static assertions, and “auto” are now supported.
  • Revamped IntelliSense: now faster and more accurate.
  • Parallel Pattern Library: a modern C++ library that allows easier and safer use of today’s multi-threaded computing.

I’ll be posting more as I take a closer look at these and other features.
