Praktik Hosting of Team Foundation Server

December 21, 2009 Dec 21, 2009 12/21/09
Brian Harry
I’ve seen a lot of companies asking themselves whether they want to host their own ALM solution or pay someone else to do it.  Most are still deciding to do it for themselves but I see more people deciding to let someone else do it every year.  Being able to rely on someone else to provide a 24x7, global, reliable service is ...

Update on Debugger Perf

December 17, 2009 Dec 17, 2009 12/17/09
Brian Harry
One of the things we got a lot of performance feedback on in Beta 2 was the debugger.  We’ve been working hard on it since Beta 2 and it’s looking much better.  There was no single thing that was a magic bullet that made everything go faster – but rather a whole lot of small things that together have made a huge difference.&#...

Proof point for improved TFS 2010 manageability

December 16, 2009 Dec 16, 2009 12/16/09
Brian Harry
As you know we’re a big believer in dogfooding the products we are building and TFS has a long history of it.  Dogfooding of TFS 2010 started even before Beta 1 shipped, both inside our team and with a few other groups in Microsoft.  One of those groups was a team in MSIT that was particularly interested in trying out the new ...

A last comment on editor/IntelliSense improvements

I got some data on some of the changes the languages team has made from Scott Wiltamuth (PUM of the languages team). The first change is in the message dispatching priority that we do in keystroke processing.  As a user is typing code that involves statement completion UI, we have a choice to make about the relative priority of (a) ...

Requests for access to VS 2010 post Beta 2 SLCTP builds

December 14, 2009 Dec 14, 2009 12/14/09
Brian Harry
Since I posted my offer to hook you up with one of the Super-Limited Community Technology Preview builds, I have received a number of requests.  I'm happy to do it but I want to clarify one thing.  A few people seem to have the assumption that the build will be more stable than Beta 2 and therefore a great upgrade for their daily use...
