Microsoft heeft na verschillende bèta's en een release candidate dan eindelijk Visual Studio 2010 aan het grote publiek vrijgegeven. Deze populaire programmeerontwikkelomgeving beschikt over handige opties om het programmeren in onder andere Visual C#, Visual Basic en Visual F# makkelijker te maken. De nieuwe uitgave voegt onder andere verbeterde stabiliteit en snelheid toe vergeleken met de eerdere bètaversies. De aankondiging door Jason Zander, general manager van de Visual Studio developer divisie, ziet er als volgt uit:
Ship It!! Visual Studio 2010 Now Available
Launch day is here and I’m pleased to announce the product is final and available now!
I can easily say this is the biggest tools release I’ve been involved with in over a decade working on .NET and Visual Studio. The work in the product represents in some cases (such as the CLR) four years of innovation coming together. I want to say a big THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS to the entire team.
In just a little while I will continue our world wide launch events here in London followed by Bob Muglia in Las Vegas. We’ve already completed the events in Malaysia, China, and India. In addition to the keynotes, we will have local events around the world and will have streaming media available for you.
Finally, thanks to all of you who downloaded pre-release builds of the product and provided your feedback. You’re feedback has been invaluable to us.
Enjoy the release, I can’t wait to see what you create…
