2 ~ 3 hours to compile the same projects on VS 2005 Beta 2 on the same PC. I

I just tried building my bizTalk solution and got the following error.  
"Compiler for file type '*.btm' failed. The method or operation is not
implemented.".  I am using BizTalk 2004 with VS 2003.  I have tried closing
VS and reopening the solution to no avail.

Has anyone heard a firm date on when I will be able to walk into a
store and buy the new Visual Studio upgrade?
