Visual Studio 2008 and .Net 3.5 due this month

This has been making the rounds for about a week now, but Visual Studio 2008 and .Net 3.4 is expected to be released this month (November 2007).

Also there is a rumor that the Microsoft ASP.Net MVC framework will also be released REAL SOON (meaning: when they feel like it, but probably after the Visual Studio 2008 launch -- and they will probably change the name).
For those of you who don't know: the Asp.Net MVC Framework is a MonoRail/Ruby On Rails-esk web development framework for Asp.Net. It does not use WinForms at all. This actually has a lot of people really excited right now. Phil Haack and Rob Conery both left their current jobs for Microsoft just so they could help work on this.
Haack must be the single greatest last name for a developer....
Scott Hanselman (now a blue badge Microsofty) has two videos from the ALT.NET conference last month with Scott Guthrie and himself.
