@copilot the links should be for the Visual Studio 2026 now, not wrapped around 2022. I also noticed some other links, like for the .NET Desktop workload, those have a 2022 portion in the query string that should be changed to 2026.

Updated in commit 7463e46. The links now wrap "Visual Studio 2026" instead of "Visual Studio 2022", and all query string parameters have been changed from view=vs-2022 to view=vs-2026 across the prerequisites include file, FAQ, and overview documentation.

@copilot whoops, I just discovered that they changed the view moniker from vs-2026 to visualstudio. Fix that.

Fixed in commit 7d36cf2. All view monikers have been changed from vs-2026 to visualstudio across all three files.
