.. We'd also like to announce that Beta 2 comes with a "Go Live" license which means you can now start using Visual Studio LightSwitch for production projects

Hi members of "VS2010 SP1 club"

Then those interested in true RAD may proceed obtaining the recent LightSwitch Beta 2 which requires VS2010 SP1:

The Beta 1 must be uninstalled first.
Apart from many minor improvements "too numerous to mention" as the team tells, an interesting new feature is direct deployment to Windows/SQL Azure.

Also, the Visual Studio LightSwitch Beta 2 Training Kit:

Hi Gustav at al, 

<<<
So I did and ran the SP1 again. 
This time - as everything was downloaded - 
it took about an hour to finish.
>>>
Yes, I have also got to the "VS2010 SP1 club" today. :)
Setup went smoothly and took a bit more than an hour....

Thank you.
