I brainstormed about VS Live immediately after the news got out. Personally, I think it's better to have a customized browser for VS Live (or Office Live or other heavy-weight services) instead of using the same generic IE, because I want more screen space from the would-be useless menu/buttons/address bars and such. The alternative is to automatically close/hide all those stuff when launching VSLive. Maybe also make it available offline (well this might be a must)...

How far are we from seeing VSLive? 2+ years or less?

Congratulations on a fantastic release!

We are currently moving our product to .Net 2.0 and we are very thrilled by VS 2005.

Also, thanks for posting your thoughts and plans here. It is very much appreciated!

Please give my best wishes to all of your team.

how about decoupling the IDE foundation from the feature set, just like Windows Server does ... ie. a rocksolid foundation + many bytesized feature(s) sets .... major release scattered(unbundled), 2nd round integrated ...

and, I'm looking forward to see your work on parallelism/concurrency ....

keep up the good work
:-)

I'm curious ... is Orcas shaping up to be VS 9.0 or VS 8.1?

At PDC there were announcements about VB 9 and C# 3.0. If Orcas is the release that contains these, then it will likely be several years away, way after Vista ships.

I think it would be wise to release Orcas as an 8.1 with Vista support, as close to Vista's release date as possible, and leave the VB 9 / C# 3.0 stuff (e.g. Linq) for later.

Congratulations for this great release!

I learned from Microsoft that there is a Visual Studio 2003 Team Suite TRIAL DVD. It's nice, but I think in the era of Internet, an available download would be nice as well.

Thanx.

VS Trial Edition

There are several options for evaluating Visual Studio: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/trial/

We make the trial editions available for download to MSDN subscribers as yet another benefit of the subscriptions. Because downloads the size of VS Professional Edition and VS Team Suite typically fail before completion, it is more efficient for both Microsoft and our customers to make it available via the more fault-tolerant MSDN download system.

To "who cares", if you are experiencing problems with Visual Studio 2005, we would like to understand this.

The MSDN Feedback Center, http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/Default.aspx, is a great way to provide feedback, as it plugs directly into our product development process and ensures follow-up on every issue.

If you prefer to interact with one of our product team members, please send me mail -- scottwil@microsoft.com.

Thanks.

Your team did a great work for the release of VS 2005 and looking forward for the Orcas. Hope to see the all VS products also integrated to the browser in coming days.

I am not sure about msbuild; but it will be very nice to see the IDE itself supporting the parallel builds by taking an option how many parallel builds it can take as that of -j for Make.

Sir,

You mentioned this....

" First, for those of you who got a chance to see Steve’s keynote at the SF launch event, I am sure you will agree with me that Carolyn (a student from University from Washington) did a fantastic job of doing the Visual Web Developer demo in the keynote. I want to take this opportunity to thank her."

Is it possible for others to see this demo too.
It would be interesting and informative, if others gets the chance to see this demo.

Thanks

Just want to correct that the URL should be "msdn.microsoft.com/launch2005", in case somebody hasn't had a chance to find it. Or you can just click this link for the webcast:

I only watched half of it, but I'm very moved because of the exciting info I haven't known about. Thanks for the link!

Congratulations on getting the new release out and many thanks for starting to share your vision for future product releases such as Orcas.

Having come back from my first PDC (which was great), I found the new WinFX stuff very exciting. One thing that slightly confused me though was the apparent lag between the platform becoming available, as part of Vista, and features such as a version of VS with an integrated UI designer (Cider) being available. Minimisation of this lag is something I personally would be very keen on - although alternatives/workarounds exist. I would also appreciate some greater clarity as to when the Expression suite might become available - although that ball might not be in your court.

Finally, it was great to see lots of research going on with respect to making it easier to write concurrent code. This is clearly going to be a challenging area for many developers in the near future and innovations are certainly needed.

great stuff. it's weird to see - cos when i made the suggestion some 4 or 5 years ago to microsoft - i beleive i used the fictional product called microsoft innovator or some such thing to highlight a sort of sandbox/early release live technology enabler; a way for microsoft to showcase new technologies in a safe and disconnected way to retain the developer community and allow ms to keep up with the innovative releases being made by the java community you just get back a crappy answer from microsoft that they can't comment on such a thing.

great ideas you got there for orcas - now if keep on improving the interface between the community and the microsoft organisation at the same rate - make it pervasive across the company - make it much more two way instead of just going for the microsoft big corporate no response attitude, things might improve even more than they have recently with the 2 way blog interaction.
