Visual Studio EnhancementsMulti-targeting

Target multiple versions of the framework from a single tool - Visual Studio 2008Supports framework versions 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5Enables only features available in target framework

Toolbox, Project types, References, Intellisense, …

Making is easy to upgrade to Visual Studio 2008

Unit TestingNow available in all editions of Visual Studio Professional

Lifecycle Tools EnhancementsTeam Foundation Server 2008

Built-in support for Continuous IntegrationTFS Migration Toolkit“Get latest on checkout”AnnotateFolder Diff

For developers:Code metricsPerformance “hotpathing”Profiler baseliningMuch faster unit testing performance

For testers:Load testing support for AJAX applicationsBetter UI for load test monitoring / reporting

And much more…

Language INtegrated Query (LINQ)

Designed to reduce the complexity when working with dataQuery operators can be used against any collection

Built-in examples: Select, Where, GroupBy, Join, etc.Extensibility model supports extending/replacing these

BenefitsWork with data in a consistent way, regardless of the type of dataInteract with data as objectsBetter integration with programming languagesImproved productivity through IntelliSense in Visual Studio

New programming model for data access that integrates query support directly within the .NET

Cloud ComputingTwo views

Software as a Service (SaaS)Software + Services (S+S)

Software + ServicesThe basics

Enterprises today primarily use software that they run themselves

Commonly known as on-premises software

Services accessed via the Internet are becoming a more important part of enterprise IT

Commonly known as cloud servicesEnterprises are moving toward a mixed world of software + services (S+S)

S+S = On-premises software + cloud services

Who is reaching for the cloudsGoogle

Selling space and CPU, lots of startups using this model

Live Mesh – small pictureOSLO – big picture

Supporting Applications Computing

Operating system: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)Application services: Salesforce.com Force.com, Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform, Google AppEngine

StorageFile system: Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)DBMS: Amazon SimpleDB, SQL Server Data Services

Where is "Oslo"?A status report

Microsoft says they'll tell us more about "Oslo" later this year

No release dates have yet been announced

The goal todayDescribe some of the main problems “Oslo” addressesGive you a big-picture view of the technology

Don’t be surprised if there are changes before the first “Oslo” release

Some things are sure to change, e.g., screen shots

Who Cares About What?Different people, different concerns

Improving This Situation

The challengeHelp people in diverse roles work with diverse information across different domainsMake IT simpler, more effective, and less expensive

The “Oslo” approachProvide a common repository for all of this informationProvide a visual editor for working with repository information

And allow other tools to be used as well

The "Oslo" RepositoryA common store for diverse informationProvides one place to find information

about the IT environmentExamples of what the repository allows

People in different roles can see and modify a common set of information

About applications, business processes, or anything else

Relationships between information can be made apparentProblems can be tracked from end to end

The "Oslo" Visual EditorA tool for working with that information

Provides a useful tool to create, read, update, and delete the repository's information

Examples of what the visual editor allowsPeople in different roles can see the information they care about in the way they want to see it

They can have better conversations with one other

Relationships between information can be examined visually

People can make connections across the environment
