19.12.2007Microsoft Plans Free Visual Studio Shell Version For Partners
Visual Studio Shell, which
will ship concurrently with
Visual Studio 2008 and be
included in the beta 2 release
due out this summer, is the
successor to Visual Studio
2005's Premier Partner
Edition (PPE). The
stripped-down software is
essentially a shell that ISVs
can license and bundle with
their own offerings. Initially
created for developers that
wanted to offer custom
language support -- Intel
ships an Intel Visual Fortran
version -- the new version
will support additional uses.
"One of the things
we found was that partners
kept asking us for ways to
build on top of Visual Studio
that went beyond what the
original PPE enabled," said
Joe Marini, Microsoft's group
product manager of developer
marketing for the Visual
Studio Industry Partner
program.
One key
change in Visual Studio Shell
is that it will support an
"isolated" deployment
option. With Visual Studio
2005, when a user installed
PPE on a machine already
running a full Visual Studio
2005 deployment, the full
Visual Studio inherited the
PPE-delivered custom language
and integrated it as an
additional language option.
Visual Studio Shell makes that
integration optional, allowing
ISVs to deliver a
custom-branded application
that will exist in tandem with
Visual Studio. ..
