HANOVER, GERMANY -- The second beta release of Visual Studio 2005, a new release of Microsoft's developer tool set, has slipped into April, a company spokesperson said this week. The final version of the product is due in September, he said. 

Microsoft had said it would deliver Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 by the end of March. The company won't make that deadline because it is still working on the product, said Said Zahedani, director of the developer platform and strategy group at Microsoft's German subsidiary during a news conference at the CeBIT trade show here.

Microsoft plans to deliver the final version of Visual Studio 2005 at its Professional Developers Conference in September in Los Angeles, Zahedani said. However, feedback from the second beta could change those plans and push final release into the fourth quarter, he said.
