Great News for VS Extenders and VSIP Partners!
What a great week for the VSX community! This week, we made several major announcements that will greatly benefit the VSX community. In a nutshell, here are the major announcements that were made:
- In response to customers' requests, we are removing the license restrictions with Visual Studio and Visual Studio SDK to enable the use of Visual Studio (include Visual Studio Shell) to build applications that target non-Microsoft platforms.
- Visual Studio Shell was demo'd at both Soma's keynote at TechEd EMEA and Scott Guthrie's keyonte at DevConnections, illustrating the power of using the VS Shell in other domains.
- We are providing VSIP Premier members source code access to parts of Visual Studio, to enable our customers to better design and debug their Visual Studio integrations.
I am in Barcelona myself right now. I will be talkin more about how to use the VS Shell tomorrow. See you there!
thanks,
James
