A Microsoft TechEd picture is worth a thousand words

Summary: Slides from various presentations at Microsoft TechEd 2011, which was held the week of May 16 in Atlanta.

At TechEd, Microsoft began sharing a few tidbits about its feature set for its next version of Visual Studio, which company officials are publicly calling "Visual Studio v.Next," but which this slide indicates is internally known as Visual Studio 2012. Microsoft has been on an every-two-year ship schedule with Visual Studio for the past few years, so I'm not sure why they've gone to the dark side that some other teams at Microsoft have and are shying away from using the product name that everyone inside and outside the company is using. Microsoft officials shared information on some of the VS 2012 application lifecycle management (ALM) features of the product this week, but wouldn't talk beta or final ship-date targets.

Note that this slide only calls out the Beyond Relational technology and does not mention AlwaysOn or the new columnstore index or the new TSQL extensions.

Even companies that put the brakes on their upgrades during the Vista years (then were devastated by the financial crisis) are now starting to spend $$ on Windows 7 to help secure their networks. Although, I do think Microsoft is on the wrong track in thinking 7 is a tablet OS.
