Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 Refresh with Team System

  • Artikel

According to Rick LaPlante’s blog entry, we’ve started the release process for the next Community Technology Preview of Visual Studio 2005. It is based on the Beta 1 bits, and the exciting news is that it includes the Team Foundation server for the Visual Studio 2005 Team System. The download is supposed to be available on MSDN sometime this week, and if you’re attending VSLive! in Orlando, you’ll be able to pick up a DVD there.

I use Visual Studio 2005 for all of my development activities, and I shudder when I have to open up 2003. The productivity gains I get with 2005 are just too significant to ignore, and Team System makes the experience even better. I’d strongly encourage serious developers to get a head start and download this release when it become available.

Update: Rick blogs that the bits should be available sometime tonight (8/31/2004).

    Rick,
    Do you have any problems developing VS 2003 projects in VS 2005 Beta 1?

    I'm glad you're posting your feedback...it's exactly the reason we make the Community Technology Previews and Betas available. Personally, I'd much rather have early access to the technology and a chance to provide feedback than wait until the product is released with issues that could have been identified by our customers much earlier. Have you reported these at the Feedback Center (http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/)? It's the best way to influence the issues that are addressed for this release.

    James, I agree with you. I would MUCH rather have Microsoft fix these tons of small design problems (because often that is another reason given for not changing something that is obviously broken... "Lack of resources") instead of coming up with grand new projects like Team System. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to get my hand on Team System. But if I could choose between Team System and fixes for all the little annoyences, I'd pick the later one every day! I really believe that a platform starts shining, once the details are well done. And especially with WinForms there is a lot of room for improvement. I just fear that none of that will happen, with Avalon around the corner...

    That's exactly my point. Fix the little stuff. Huge new functionality is great, but if I can't build simple WinForms applications with .net without having to write my own controls to fix stupid things left in it, then what's the point?

    MS should do the litmus test: If you can't write MS word with no addons to the .net framework, then it's not done yet.

    You might appreciate this information, although it probably won't satisfy you: http://blogs.msdn.com/MikhailArkhipov/archive/2004/08/28/222191.aspx

    It would satisfy me if they actually did something about the stuff that I've reported. It isn't exactly rocket science that I'm asking for here, just common sense. (hence why it's so hard to comprhend I think)
