At a packed session at VSLive! New York Tuesday morning, Microsoft unveiled more details about future releases of Visual Studio.
"The more you know about our tools roadmap, the better choices you can make," explained Eric Rudder, Senior Vice President of Microsoft's Server and Tools Business Unit. In today's keynote session at VSLive! New York, Rudder disclosed more details about future versions of Visual Studio—and announced changes to Microsoft's partner program.

Future versions of Visual Studio "will not be a paradigm shift," said Ari Bixhorn, Lead Product Manager of Visual Studio. He contrasted the transition from VB6 to Visual Studio .NET—and said the changes in Visual Studio .NET going forward are evolutionary, not revolutionary.
