Tell us about VS2010 Beta2

Last week we shipped Beta 2 for broad distribution.  Many of you have already sent us comments and improvement suggestions (thanks!)

At this point we are down to our final set of bug fixing, perf tuning, etc.  We’re very interested in your feedback so we can take action on it before we ship the final version.  To help make it easy, you can take this simple survey.

One thing in particular we are hearing a lot of feedback on is performance.  We are working hard on the next round of perf improvements.  You can supply your feedback through the survey.  When you give us your feedback, the more actionable you can make it the better.  We need to know what operations you are doing (like editing, debugging, etc), what kind of hardware you have (CPU, RAM, disk), and your hosting scenario (main machine, running in VM, terminal server, etc).

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

# re: Tell us about VS2010 Beta2

on the e7 blog there was some good posts during Win7 development about how Win7 had a bunch of automated perf measurement/gathering to help get real-world numbers for common scenarios (opening the start menu, for instance).

It'd be great if you/JasonZ/Soma/Rico/whoever could do some post(s) about the key perf scenarios VS has automated perf number gathering for, compare them with 2008 (and maybe 2005), show where 2010 is currently, compare Beta1 to Beta2, etc.

Internal perf numbers and runs on the pods are one thing, but like with Win7, it'd be great to see what the real-world data is showing and how that's being used for guiding VS perf work.

Bob - thanks for the idea.  I've passed it on to my friends on the perf team to see what they can pull together.  We have a lot of machinery in place and the comparisons to Beta1 are pretty impressive.  We've also made good gains against VS2008 in select areas.

Thanks,

jeff
