News, views and reviews on Microsoft

There’s a few more details emerging in the lead up to PDC about Visual Studio 2010. This time Somasegar elaborates a little more on how to hunt the ‘no repro’ bug (ie bugs that are reported but hard to reproduce).
There’s nothing startlingly new in his post, except for this way cool screenshot (full size image here):
It’s going to be an exciting PDC, that’s for sure. And although a few people are complaining that all the announcements are being made before the conference, here at Microsoft Confidential, we’re pretty sure there’s gonna be a ton of stuff held back to be revealed at the last minute.

Good to see that Microsoft is going to be shipping jQuery with Visual Studio from now on. Scott Guthrie made the announcement earlier:
I’m excited today to announce that Microsoft will be shipping jQuery with Visual Studio going forward. We will distribute the jQuery JavaScript library as-is, and will not be forking or changing the source from the main jQuery branch. The files will continue to use and ship under the existing jQuery MIT license.
How on earth with developers cope with the huge additional bloat (all 15kb of it) this adds to the otherwise streamlined VS range?
