VS2010 is going to be a great poroduct, when it goes RTM. I see a lot of effort on making may life as developer a lot more easy. The integration with Visual Studio Gallery is good (could be better, like allowing to search by cost of the extension, more a la site version). On the PDC 2009 MS that the free version of Code Rush will also be available for Vs2010 developers.

I will include some captures as soon as possible.

On the TFS 2010 side, it’s becoming a serious contender on his segment. Now with a native integration with project server, the managers can concentrate all the info in just a a tool and get an updated snapshoot on the project status every time they want.

Also the new compilation farms are nice. The compilation process is now Workflow based, so you can adjust the process with custom activities as you need. That and much more to come.

Once it has been compiled… works like a charm. It is a low end blog. It does not have any of the fancy or the minimum features yet (ie: No RSS/Atom, no anti-spam). The developers also say that is not production ready yet… but I saw some sites using it.

Adding this features seems quite easy since the plug-in/module model is very easy to understand and to code. Rumors say that the Beta version is very close… I’m very happy with this.

Nice code. A Big plus is that my preliminary analysis shows that the persistency layer (it uses a LinqToSql provider) seems quite easy to replace with a more malleable ORM.

In summary: this is a project that you must watch.
