April 18, 2014Apr 18, 201404/18/14Some years ago we discontinued support for creating installer projects in Visual Studio and directed people to InstallShield for that functionality. There were a number of reasons for that decision that I won’t detail here. However, there was vocal feedback from many of our users that they were very unhappy with that decision.

This is an example of the power of social media. I had planned to ignore it but I’ve had enough requests for “official confirmation” that I guess I have to say something :).
Last week someone tweeted “Microsoft phasing out the TFS version control repository and moving to Git.
April 14, 2014Apr 14, 201404/14/14You probably didn’t notice that we did our sprint 63 deployment last week. I didn’t blog about it because there wasn’t much to say.
