Hooray! Visual Studio 2008 is out and available for download.

If you’re trying to find it on the MSDN downloads, note that you may not see it in the main download section yet. Instead, you have to go to:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/default.aspx
and log in, then you’ll find the download in the "Top Downloads" block. Microsoft is trying to balance the downloads a bit.

The Visual Studio 2008 Professional download is a whopping 3.31GB ISO. I’m downloading it now at a solid 3.5Mbps, but it’s still going to be a while. I can only imagine how much Internet traffic is dealing with this download right now.
