Datasheet

will be able to choose from three main version (of course, free Express editions are still
available):
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional with MSDN — This version is intended to
be the essential tool for basic development tasks to assist developers in easily implementing
their ideas.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Premium with MSDN — This provides a complete toolset to
help developers deliver scalable, high - quality applications.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate with MSDN — This version (as its name suggests)
is a comprehensive suite of application life - cycle management tools for software teams to
help ensure quality results from design to deployment.
The feature sets of these editions are formed so that editions contain every feature the lower editions
have, plus add their own functionality on top of them.
Microsoft ’ s intention with Visual Studio 2010 is clear from the features all editions have in
common:
Development platform support — All important platforms (Windows, Web, Offi ce,
SharePoint, and cloud development) are available with a common tool set.
Team Foundation Server integration — There is no difference among the Visual Studio
editions in the Team Foundation Server support they have! All of them are shipped with
the Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010 to instantly access Team Foundation Server
with the entire feature set, including source control and work item management, build
automation and test case management, Team Portal, Business Intelligence (BI), and
reporting.
Debugging and Diagnostics — The effi cient debugging and diagnostics tools (with a num-
ber of new Visual Studio 2010 innovations) help developers to become more productive than
ever before. Now, post - mortem debugging, multi - threaded application debugging through
the Parallel Stack and Tasks window, and 64 - bit support for mixed mode debugging are
available for every developer independently of the edition he or she uses.
These editions are bundled with MSDN subscriptions. This is a great benefi t — especially for
Premium and Ultimate users who receive additional software for production use (such as Expression
Studio 3, Offi ce Plus 2010, Visio Premium 2010, and Project Professional 2010). All users get
the standard MSDN subscription benefi ts, such as priority support on MSDN Forums, technical
support incidents, MSDN magazine, and so on.
As a result of setting up the editions as treated, small developer teams with the Professional edition
now can work together in a way that was possible only with one of the Team System editions with
the previous versions. The Premium edition adds new tools for database development, testing, and
advanced functions for debugging and diagnostics. Users of the Ultimate edition have architecture,
modeling, and test lab management tools shipped with the product, a benefi t they never got before
with Visual Studio.
