We’ve just put the first release candidate of Ruby In Steel PE online.  
Users  
of the beta versions will need to install this as the betas have now  
expired. RC1 has no expiry date. We shall release the final version of  
Ruby  
In Steel PE by the end of January. It is unlikely to be significantly  
different from the release candidate. You will need Visual Studio 2005  
Standard Edition (not Express) or better to run Ruby In Steel.

I’ve really enjoyed the product as you’ve been developing it. I prefer  
Visual Studio to most other environments, so its nice to get Ruby syntax  
coloring.

I would really like to see the IntelliSense in action - though I don’t  
know  
that I’m willing to pay for it. Hopefully you’ll release a time-locked  
trial  
version so I can try before buying.

I only have one complaint - about the new “splash screen” that appears  
when  
a ruby file is first loaded or even when selecting “Help | About” from  
the  
Visual Studio menu. That screen is pretty annoying because it takes  
about 5  
seconds to do its “fade-in” animation on my computer, and acts like a  
modal  
dialog. Please consider removing it!
