Visual Studio 2010 RC is available since February 10th, 2010 for the public. Great improvements were made, especially in performance. But this changes are not available for Silverlight 4 developers because that RC does not support Silverlight 4 applications, only Silverlight 3. If you want to continue working with Silverlight 4, you should stay with Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 until new Silverlight Runtime/Tools/Toolkit etc is available. BTW, it is not possible to run VS 2010 beta 2 and VS 2010 RC side-by-side.

Performance of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2

The performance of my instance of VS2010 beta 2 was not well. Especially, start of debugging process for silverlight applications was not fast enough. Loading of symbols files (to enable debugging) was taking about two-three minutes. BTW, there are a lot of complains on performance in beta 2. The situation was the same for silverlight 3 and 4 applications.

The performance issue has been solved after installing MS Expression Blend Preview for .Net 4. The symbols loading time is almost the same as for VS2008.

I am absolutely sure, Microsoft will improve performance in the release.
