By now, I suspect, everyone is pretty used to our cadence for shipping Team Foundation Server. We ship a "major" release every year or so and then we ship "Updates" about once a quarter.

We've now made a preview of Kusto publicly available as "Application Insights Analytics". Kusto is a phenomenal tool. I can't say enough good stuff about it. I can gush about...

Some of our MVPs have put together a YouTube channel for VS Team Services sprint videos. It's very cool. Check it out. Brian
