While we're talking about perf... Over the past year we've heard increasing complaints from customers about the scalability of the Team System Web Access Power Tool as more and more people try to use it.  The problem is usually manifested as frequent application recycles (you can see if it's hitting you by looking in your event log)....

Along with painting the big picture of our performance efforts I'd like to share a few specific things we've learned along the way.  The first is hosting a WPF window inside a Windows Forms Window. We've spent a lot of time looking at memory usage over the past several months and one of the things that we saw was that some tool windows were ca...

I've seen a number of comments here (and elsewhere) about VS 2010 being another "Vista".  We are very aware how weakness in a few key areas (like performance) can cast a pall over an entire product.  As I said in the original post, we are committed to shipping a great release (in all respects). David mentioned in a comment on my last post...

You've seen me write a fair amount recently about the VS 2010 Beta 2 performance problems - well, you're going to see me keep writing about them :)  We've had enough time, at this point, to understand the feedback and characterize the problem - I'd like to share it with you in hopes of you understanding it and perhaps learning something that c...

One of the coolest new capabilities in 2010 is "Lab Management".  It enables you to automate the setup and configuration of test environments, saving you a bunch of time doing it every time you have a new build you want to test.  We first released it in Beta 1, but the truth is it's a V1 product and it just wasn't really ready enough for ...

I’ve written a couple of posts in the last month or so soliciting performance feedback from you all and talking about our performance efforts.  Since we realized the degree of performance problem that we still had, we have spent a ton of effort working on understanding it and making it better. Just yesterday, we made available a build we’re...

Quest software has been working on a provider to enable the Visual Studio database tools to work with Oracle databases (refactorying, deployment, testing, analysis, etc).  They've just released a public Beta that you can try out with the VS 2010 Beta 2.  Read more about it and download the Beta.  You can also check out a video demons...

EMC (formerly from Conchango) has recently released a Beta of a new release of their popular SCRUM for Team System.  This Beta is designed to work with TFS 2010 Beta 2.  You can find download details here:  http://scrumforteamsystem.com/cs/forums/4554/ShowPost.aspx and I recommend checking out Crispin Parker's blog to learn more: htt...
