Testing the Russian version of Visual Studio 2008
The release of the Visual Studio development toolkit and the MSDN Developer Documentation Library in Russian — something that people periodically wrote on blogs and often gave out as rumors, is not so far off as it seemed a year ago when it was announced at the conference on Platform 2008 A little more than in a month the final assembly of the Russian Visual Studio will be assembled, the installation package will be assembled, the recording on the discs and packing in the boxes will begin.
All versions of Visual Studio 2008 are fully localized, including the free version of Visual Studio Express and the version for organizing the work of the Visual Studio Team System development teams. It is worth noting that for the first time , the interface and documentation are completely localized - the MSDN library.
From the release date of the localized version of Visual Studio - October 28, all subsequent versions and product updates will be issued in Russian. The Russian version of the service pack for Visual Studio 2008 - Service Pack 1 will be released before the end of 2008.
However, before releasing the product, he will have to go through many tests. But the main thing in localization is the people who will use the product. Therefore, Microsoft offers to participate in testing Habralyudyam.

We invite 50 people to the Moscow office of Microsoft in Krylatskoye on September 30 at 11.00 , ask these people to look at the localized version of Visual Studio 2008 and write reviews on the quality of the product localization.
Each of the participants in the Visual Studio testing will receive a souvenir and a set of books, and the authors of the best comments will receive valuable gifts (should there be a motivation to find shortcomings and ways to improve?):
One moment - you will have to sign a confidentiality agreement on which, until the release of the Russian version of Visual Studio 2008, you will not be able to talk about what you saw during the testing (you suddenly find something, and we will quickly fix it and it’s as if nothing :))
Immediately I will answer the question that could arise “why we invite it to Habré?” - we want to get an objective opinion from developers of different profiles and having experience using different tools.
Thanks in advance for your participation!
Update Just in case, to dispel possible high expectations - Microsoft does not pay for the road from other cities and does not assume any additional costs.
