Visual Studio 2010 is a very significant release. Tons of new features. Significant improvements in many, many areas. This is big. And we�re really simplifying the product line like many of you asked us to. A key announcement that you need to know about is what we�re calling the �Ultimate Offer��making sure that every MSDN subscriber gets equal or greater value (in many cases, a lot greater) as we transition subscriptions into the new and simplified Visual Studio 2010 product lineup.

As you can see, it really pays to have MSDN Premium�that�s how you can get our most powerful and advanced tools when Visual Studio 2010 releases. This is a serious upgrade.

As you can see above, most subscribers will get Team Foundation Server as part of their subscription. No, not Workgroup Edition with a 5-user limit. The full version. TFS 2010 offers two set up choices: Basic and Advanced. Basic is quick and ideal for replacing Visual SourceSafe. Advanced provides all the power of TFS for source control, builds, work-item tracking, reporting, testing, and more. Up until now, TFS had to be purchased separately so this is a big new benefit. Start using the Team Foundation Server 2010 beta 2 now, you�re really going to like it. And when it releases, you�re covered for the full version.
