Visual Studio to launch “within days”

This from Robert Scoble : “(we’re shipping Visual Studio ‘within days’ I hear).”

Vijay P. Mehta writes, “Visual Studio Tools for Office 2005 (VSTO) finally lets you [write custom solutions for Office in managed code without exiting the Visual Studio IDE], enabling you to write managed code that runs inside Word and Excel 2003. Taken together, the combination of VSTO 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 brings Office development to the forefront by giving developers a much richer set of tools to access and manipulate Office documents programmatically.”
