Last night, I got the following question in email and it seemed like a good one and worth sharing the answer more broadly. I'm just a bit curious about why you have an NDA for your SLCTP's. The purpose of NDA's is to prevent people talking about all the new great stuff in upcoming releases. I would imagine at this stage the products are feature ...

About a week ago the Blend team upgraded to our SLCTP1 build (Super-Limited Community Technology Preview).  We’re starting to get some anecdotal feedback from them and we’re planning to do another survey this coming week that will include everyone who tried SLCTP1 (a couple of internal teams and over 50 external customers).  B...

Someone asked me the other day what we were using as our “Real World” apps so they could compare them to their own apps to understand how the testing we are doing will apply.  Here’s a high level overview that characterizes several of them.  There are others that I haven’t listed but this should give you a decent f...

One of the areas we’ve gotten a lot of performance feedback from Beta 2 on is loading solutions.  We’ve made a ton of progress addressing the causes of the slowness.  Like on the virtual memory issue I talked about yesterday, we’ve picked a set of “real world apps” – some of the same ones and some different ones to measure solution load t...

We continue to drive for improvements – trying to make contact with every person who reports issues (via my blog, Connect, Surveys, etc.).  We’re released on “Super-Limited Community Technology Preview” to individuals who have reported problems and are on the brink of releasing another. Every day we are seeing wins.&nbs...

In truth, this won’t apply to very many of you and it is with some trepidation that I share it.  The last thing in the world I want is for everyone to blindly follow it.  This, like in many things in software, involves trade-offs that you need to think hard about. VS 2010 includes more managed code than any previous version of VS.&n...

One of the big problems that I’ve talked about is virtual memory exhaustion and the resulting VS instability.  Today, VS is a 32-bit process – I’m sure that’s going to change (become 64-bit) at some point but it won’t for 2010.  A 32-bit process has 2GB of address space on a 32-bit OS.  You can throw the 3GB switch and get another GB...

Angela Dugan (Binkowski), a friend of mine in the field, asked that I help her advertise a roadshow she is doing.  Here’s what she had to say about it: Ram Cherala, Principal Program Manager in the Visual Studio Test Tools Business, will be visiting the Midwest District to provide a deeper dive into the innovative new capabilities being intro...

We've heard loud and clear that the WPF designer performance in Beta 2 was unacceptable.  Well, in a good kind of way, we knew that before we shipped Beta 2.  This was one case where our performance tests were telling us the right thing.  We discovered some issues late in the Beta 2 cycle (partially a regression, I think) and didn't ...
