I'm back into VSTS with a vengence this week and I just read some announcements that I heard at the Summit that now appear to be public.
I never understood why it wasn't in pro to start with - my personal opinion is that it was interference from Marketing that drove this decision. Thankfully, Marketing also took note of the thousands of complaints and they have done the right thing. I fear it's too late though. Most dev's I know prefer NUnit. NUnit and it's add-on's have progressed a lot in the last couple of years so it's going to be hard for TS Unit Testing to regain ground. I'll be using it though - mostly for compatibility with Team Build.
Looking at the road map for Orcas it's pretty clear that Orcas will RTM sometime towards the end of this year. This is the message we got at the Summit.
Rosario includes a lot of new features to help with bigger teams and projects. Some of the features will be really useful for ISV's such as Intergen - we find it an ongoing battle to calculate future resource requirements. Having a tool that will help do this will be very useful.
Microsoft has acquired TeamPlain, a web client that provides access to work items, source control etc. This is fantastic news! I love TeamPlain but could never justify the extra expense of it. Now I wont need to. Event better, I can get it now!
