Microsoft names Visual Studio 2010 dates

Microsoft has struggled with the best way to sell Visual Studio's application lifecycle management ever since it introduced Team System against IBM's Rational four years back. As the company prepares to release Visual Studio 2010 for Windows 7, Office 2010 and a new line Windows servers about to come on tap, Microsoft is taking another stab.



This time, the company is spicing the packaging mix by throwing in hours of access to its Azure cloud plus upgrades to a new, top-of-the-line Visual Studio ALM package.



The changes will be unveiled today, as Microsoft announces the second Visual Studio 2010 beta and .NET Framework 4 beta two have been released to MSDN subscribers with everyone else getting code on October 21...

Microsoft 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. ..
