.NET 2.0 Beta 2

.NET 2.0 Beta 2 and Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 were just released last week. I tested it and did see a lot of improvements comparing previous version: full 64-bit support, enhanced intelli-sense, generics, partial class, typed data table, and a lot of new controls...

But one thing confused me is that VS2005 is still built by C++. Why not C#/VB.NET? It's more convincing to people that .NET is robust and mature enough for enterprise applications, if Microsoft is building their own tools using .NET.
