Visual Studio 2010: countdown

It turns out that Jeff Beeler (Jeff Beehler) has published in his blog a gadget widget for those who are looking forward to the release of the new version of VS from Microsoft

The new version will be presented on March 22, 2010. An interesting date: here again the number 22 appears (remember, October 22). It seems that Office 2010 will also be released on the 22nd. It remains only to understand what month :)

I was also surprised by two of the three new studio editions: painfully familiar Professional and Ultimate

And here is the countdown counter code itself (with styles):

< style type ="text/css" >
div#widget { position: relative; width: 250px; height: 155px; }

body ul#cntdwn { width: 250px; height: 80px; background: transparent url(http://toysfortweets.com/visualstudiowidget/cntdwn-bg.png)
no-repeat scroll left top; list-style-type: none; text-align: center; padding:
74px 0 0 0; margin: 0; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif; }

body ul#cntdwn li { float: left; margin: 0 8px 0 0; background: transparent url(http://toysfortweets.com/visualstudiowidget/number-bg.png)
no-repeat scroll left top; padding: 0 0 5px 7px; }

body ul#cntdwn li.first { margin-left: 20px; }

body ul#cntdwn li em { display: block; color: #111; font-size: 1.6em; font-style:
normal; font-weight: bold; background: transparent url(http://toysfortweets.com/visualstudiowidget/number-cap.png)
no-repeat scroll right top; padding: 3px 7px 0 0; height: 35px; margin-bottom:
-5px; }

div#widget a#link { display: block; width: 250px; height: 155px; position:
absolute; top: 0; left: 0; }

</ style >
< script language ="javascript" src ="http://toysfortweets.com/visualstudiowidget/countdown.js" ></ script >

How he looks live can be seen on Jeff's blog or here.

PS: I personally look forward to the release of VS 2010 mainly due to the fact that there will be a full- featured Help3
