Last week the beginning of the official Visual Studio 2008 launch wave began.  Combined with the launch of Windows Server 2008 (and Vista SP1) and SQL Server 2008 (although not due for release until late this year), this series of events should really encourage developers to take a look at the new product.

Across in New Zealand Microsoft has partnered with local website Geekzone for a limited time Visual Studio 2008 blog.  For the month of March there will be a number of permanent posts that will discuss various aspects of Visual Studio 2008.  Whilst we will attempt to keep an index of these topics, I suggest that you head over to the Visual Studio 2008 Geekzone blog and add it to your favorite RSS reader.
