I am basically a developer by heart. So out of latest offering from Microsoft  I am concentrating more on Visual studio 2011,ASP.NET 4.5,C# new features and ASP.NET MVC 4. So here we got let’s load visual studio 2011 beta.


Once you load Visual studio 2011 Beta the first thing you notice is start page of the visual studio 2011. It’s streamline with metro style icons and nice UI as below.
