I realized it’s not really right for me to say we’ve shipped 75 releases in the past 18 months and then leave you to guess what they were. I asked Jeff for the slide he presented and have copied the data here. It’s roughly categorized. I’m not promising the categorization is completely accurate or that we h...
In my post on MTM performance, Lachlan asked if we plan to start releasing VS more often. I wrote an answer but it got so long that I decided to turn it into a post instead. Here it is... As for release cadence, it's a complicated question. We've had a lot of conversations about it over the years and we want to release more frequently.&...
It pretty quickly became clear that having separate Visual Studio and Visual Studio ALM sites just wasn't going to be a good idea. It just wasn't clear to people which site to post ideas in. As a result, we have combined the two under the Visual Studio site. The ALM ideas and votes have been moved over. Please file your ideas ther...
In addition to the UserVoice site that I recently blogged about for Visual Studio ALM features I blogged about recently, we've also created a UserVoice site for general Visual Studio feedback for areas other than the ALM features. I'm not 100% sure why we created 2 of them but I guess it gives you the ability to have 2 top 10 lists :) ...
UPDATE 7/18/11: We've combined the ALM UserVoice site with the Visual Studio one at http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/filters/top. Please file your ideas there. We recently created a UserVoice site for the world to make product suggestions and vote on them. As you can see from the site, it’s designed fo...

If you follow my blog, you know that I talk a lot about collaboration and the impact it has on the success or failure of modern software projects. In a recent post on Agile Project Management, I closed with a brief mention about feedback loops being a major initiative for us in our next release. Here I want to expand on that a bit. Let’s look ...
When we first started designing Team Foundation Server, one of our mantras was “Your process, our process or no process”. What we meant by this was that TFS can play an important role in helping you automate your development process. Many teams already have a well establish process and aren’t particularly interested in changing it. TFS can be co...
Yesterday was a big day for us! In his keynote at TechEd yesterday Jason Zander gave an overview of our ALM roadmap. In a follow up session Cameron Skinner did more of a deep dive, demonstrating many of the new features coming in the next version. You can read a really good overview here on Jason’s blog: http://blogs.msdn.co...
We released a ton of new stuff this week and this, of course, only adds to all the other stuff we have released. I got a request on one of my posts to clarify what is installed where and in what order. I’ll try to make sense of it all here. First a couple of principles: Now let’s look at what we’ve release...
