WilkoSki, thanks for the follow-up. You can read more about the Windows Embedded roadmap at www.microsoft.com/.../11-14RoadMap.mspx. In particular, you might be interested in the paragraph: "Dallas also confirmed that Microsoft updated Windows Embedded Compact 7, the current generation of the Windows Embedded CE platform, in October 2011, and Windows Embedded Compact v.Next will follow in the second half of 2012, introducing support for Visual Studio 2010."

David Espino, there is currently nothing like that in Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview, but it's something that's been talked about, and it's something we'll continue to look at moving forward.

Any Native Social Networking Classes or helpers?, there are lots of differents frameworks accross the web (I've created mine); but it should be great if VS 2011 could integrate some of them as standard.

What about the re-introduction of support for native and managed development on Windows CE platforms, not just WinPhone7 (i.e. SmartDevice Extensions). MS shot themselves in the foot by secretly dropping support for this in VS2010 and the ensuing developer backlash. Typically though MS has thrown their toys out of the pram refusing to acknowledge or discuss their mistake.

MS releases WinCE 7 and expects people to continue developing for it using VS2008. This causes fragmentation of the development and build processes which in turn means less productivity and more cost. If MS is truly committed to the Embedded space as they keep telling us then you need to give us the tools to do the job. I'm aware of several large organisations who previously built products on WinCE and have now ditched it for their next generation of embedded devices purely because MS has not provided any information on their strategy and the development tools are out of sync.

Perhaps you're still ignorant of the backlash, just do a quick search for VS2010 Compact Framework and see what you find.

I am with holding judgement but not holding my breathe either. It has been a long time since MICROSOFT released anything note-worthy. I do find it laughable, based on history of Microsoft products, that you use productivity and Visual Studio in the same sentence. This tool is far from productive as a matter of fact it has taken significant strides backwards. I am astounded that lingering bugs go unfixed, work-around still are common place and VS is mildly better then using notepad. Not much to be proud of. Actually on second thought I use notepad for quick fixes it's more stable.

When you are nailing down Studio 11's upgrade price, please consider a lower cost for owners of VS10 (much lower than you normally would). VS10 is a Vista, and those who bought it got stuck with a sluggish app with nowhere near the stability of VS 2008. You wouldn't have to do this lower price every time, but it would be appropriate and fair considering the state of VS10.

Eric, Visual C++ does support IntelliSense in Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview.

Charles, Windows Phone is an active area of investment, with a lot of focus being put on development tools. You can download the latest suite of tools for Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 7.5 from www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx.

"How about", thank you for the comments and feedback on performance.

Where is Windows Mobile in all of this? Are we Mobile developers to be left out in the cold again?

Radu,

'Namaste' is a greeeting that is often used at the end of a conversation but also at the begining of a face to face encounter. As one person related to me the translations is "I see god in you." The lower case being quite intentional. It's complementary and very cool.
