Next and Current .NET 3.0

Question

Hi Guys,

first of all, sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany.

But back to topic.
The RC 1 of the .NET 3 Framework was bad integrated in VS for my opinion, there is no support for the designer, and all in XAML, than back to Notepad. ^^
I hope in the next release its getting better, there is my question.

Is there a scedule for the October CTP or whats coming after the September CTP, maybe a RC 2?
