I'm still waiting for updated .NET books to be published, so far they only cover .NET Beta 1, no .NET Beta 2 books are out yet.
At least I can say I was working on it while it was still in Beta. I am assuming they will call it Visual Studio 7.0 when it does finally come out? .NET is just the framework behind it.
Doing .NET Beta programming is like banging your head against a wall. Eventually you hurt youn head and give up, or get knocked out.
