with 19 posters participatingMicrosoft has a bunch of news for developers: a simplified product lineup and pricing options for the next version of Visual Studio, Beta 2 of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4, the official launch of both products scheduled for March 22, 2010, related benefits for MSDN subscribers, and improvements to the actual MSDN website. Redmond insisted on making all of these announcements on the same day, and while we think that will just lead to lots of confusion, we're still going to try to break it down for you as coherently as possible.
Nine SKUs to four
We had the opportunity to talk to Dave Mendlen, senior director of developer marketing at Microsoft, about today's announcement. Mendlen seemed most excited about the fact that Microsoft was cutting down the number of SKUs with the Visual Studio 2010 released. 'Today we effectively have nine SKUs on the market,' Mendlen told Ars. 'We've collapsed that to three core products.' Three core products? OK, we'll give him that, but in terms of the number of SKUs, if we're going to say it was nine, it's now four:
Old Visual Studio SKUs | Visual Studio 2010 SKUs |
---|---|
Team System Team Suite with MSDN Premium $10,939 New or $3,499 Renewal | Ultimate with MSDN $11,924 New or $3,841 Renewal |
Team System Development Edition with MSDN Premium $5,469 New or $2,299 Renewal | Premium with MSDN $5,469 New or $2,299 Renewal |
Team System Database Edition with MSDN Premium $5,469 New or $2,299 Renewal | |
Team System Architect Edition with MSDN Premium $5,469 New or $2,299 Renewal | |
Team System Test Edition with MSDN Premium $5,469 New or $2,299 Renewal | |
Professional with MSDN Premium $2,499 New or $1,999 Renewal | Professional with MSDN $1,199 New or $799 Renewal |
Professional with MSDN Professional $1,199 New or $799 Renewal | |
Professional $799 | Professional (retail) $799 |
Standard $299 |
Mendlen emphasized that this naming scheme (Professional, Premium, and Ultimate) is purposefully similar to the Windows branding, and we agree with him that this is a good idea (though we're not particularly thrilled that Professional and Premium are out of order). He also told us that although the Visual Studio logo has never changed before, a new one is here now (pictured above) 'to symbolize all these changes.'
Here's how Microsoft is currently differentiating the three core products:
VS 2010 | Features | MSDN Premium Benefits | Additional Software Included |
---|---|---|---|
Ultimate | IntelliTrace Historical Debugging Comprehensive Testing Tools Test Case and Test Lab Management Advanced UML Architecture Tools Architectural Discovery Tools Unit Testing with Code Coverage and Test Prioritization Code Analysis, Metrics and Optimization Database Development and Testing Tools | 250 hours Azure Usage TFS License (1 CAL) 4 Support Incidents | Windows OS & Servers XNA Game Studio Expression Studio Office SQL Server Business & Enterprise Servers |
Premium | Advanced Application Development & Debugging Unit Testing with Code Coverage and Test Prioritization Code Analysis, Metrics & Optimization Database Development and Testing Tools Read Only Architectural Diagrams | 100 hours Azure Usage TFS License (1 CAL) 4 Support Incidents | Windows OS & Servers XNA Game Studio Expression Studio Office SQL Server Business & Enterprise Servers |
Professional | Application Development & Debugging Unit Testing | 50 hours Azure Usage TFS License (1 CAL) 2 Support Incidents | Windows Client and Server OS SQL Server XNA Game Studio |

On Wednesday, Microsoft will be giving out Beta 2 downloads for public consumption on the Microsoft Download Center. If you have an MSDN subscription, let us know your thoughts on Beta 2 compared to Beta 1.
Beta 1 of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 arrived in May 2009. With Beta 2 out now, and the final slated for March 22, 2010, we asked Microsoft if there was any releases planned in between. 'We currently do not have another release scheduled, however customer feedback always determines final availability,' a Microsoft spokesperson told Ars. 'Microsoft will actively gather feedback from customers evaluating beta 2 and incorporating this feedback into our development efforts. We'll continue to provide updates on the development of Visual Studio 2010 and the .NET Framework 4 as we move towards final product availability.'

Visual Studio 2010 has new testing options, enhancements to the IDE, built-in tools for Windows 7 and Microsoft SharePoint 2010, new drag-and-drop bindings for Silverlight and Windows Presentation Foundation, and interoperability with various technologies (such as those for the database, ASP.NET model view controller, unified modeling language, Expression, and multicore).
On the other hand, .NET Framework 4.0 has an 81 percent reduction in the framework size when using the Client Profile, additional support for industry standards, inclusion of the Dynamic Language Runtime for more language choice, new support for high-performance middle-tier applications (including parallel programming, workflow, and service-oriented applications), and backward compatibility through side-by-side installation with version 3.5.
Ultimate Offer and new MSDN subscriber benefits
The 2010 Ultimate Offer is a promotion to help customers upgrade to Visual Studio 2010 while getting the most value possible and is available to customers who have purchased the following products on or before March 22, 2010:
- Visual Studio Professional 2008 with MSDN Premium
- Visual Studio Team System 2008 Development Edition with MSDN Premium
- Visual Studio Team System 2008 Architecture Edition with MSDN Premium
- Visual Studio Team System 2008 Test Edition with MSDN Premium
- Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition with MSDN Premium
'We will give you more software than your current paid offer,' Mendlen confirmed with Ars. 'In all of these cases, we're giving the customer more software value then they are paying for.' Starting today, active MSDN Premium subscribers have the option to gain access to a higher SKU of Visual Studio without spending more money. They will also get 750 free Azure hours per month (till about mid 2010) and 40 free Microsoft Learning hours. Once the deal is over, more hours will be laid out for the three core products. Team Foundations Server (TFS), test and development rights for Microsoft server software (including Windows Server 2008 R2 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008), Microsoft Office, and premium Visual Studio tools are also available to all levels of MSDN.
Improvements to MSDN
Finally, Microsoft is giving MSDN an overhaul, giving the user experience a refresh, and overall making the site faster. 'We've made some modifications to how the scripts work,' Mendlen indicated to Ars. Some of the improvements started trickling out over the weekend, including Visual Basic, Visual C#, Visual F#, Office Developer Center, SharePoint Developer Center, and Office Development with Visual Studio Developer Center.

Microsoft made a lot of developer announcements today, and yet what the software giant wants from its community can be boiled down to a single sentence. 'Go get the beta and take advantage of the offers,' Mendlen concluded.
