VS Community Technology Preview Notes (and Wiki)

Milbertus shares his initial impressions of the Community Technology Preview (CTP) drop of Visual Studio and notes that, “You can also turn off source control integration altogether (finally), and set up the keyboard shortcuts to emulate different editors...” You can also switch source control providers on the fly.

If you're thinking about or have already downloaded one of the Visual Studio Community drops, check out Philip Rieck's Wiki: Visual Studio CTP Change Log, whose self described purpose is to, “use members of the community (you!) to track the feature changes from one CTP to another. New feature added? Feature now broken? Feature gone completely? Write about it here.“ I'll be interested to see how the S2K5CTPCRCL wiki community deals with complex versioning issues.

Does it include a preview of the new SourceSafe version?

Yes, I've heard that it does. Korby posted some info and screenshots of resizable dialogs a few months back. See the following links.

IF the VS CTP release does include VSS, is it at a stable enough version to be used in a production environment?
# Korby Parnell said on April 8, 2004 9:49 AM:
In my opinion, VSS is definitely stable enough for prime time development. Of course, I can't say that officially until we RTM...no warranties, expressed or implied blah blah blah. But relative to the rest of Visual Studio, VSS is more stable, less likely to experience significant feature adds or deletes, and by my reckoning, is *extremely* unlikely to force any dramatic formatting changes that would cause beta users to have trouble moving their code forward. Hope that helps. :-)

Does the new version of VSS contain a server? Does the preview contain the ability to access VSS remotely?
