I haven't been out to check the new Visual Studio 2008 sites since Launch and thought that was poor form on my part.

So I hopped out there earlier today and was pleasantly surprised with some of the improvements. Even more impressive was the Silverlight-based UI I discovered for the Visual Studio Express site: nifty UI elements and navigation by area of interest, all with a spiffy Silverlight-based sheen. It's a really sharp site and you should check it out.

While you're there, if you haven't already downloaded one of the VS2008 Express editions, you should. There are loads of new capabilities in VS2008.
