Microsoft officials at the VSLive conference in San Francisco this week elaborated on where the company is headed with its software development tools, noting the planned Orcas and Rosario releases of Visual Studio, due later this year and a year afterward, respectively. InfoWorld editor at large Paul Krill sat down with Prashant Sridharan, Microsoft group product manager for Visual Studio, to discuss Microsoft's tool plans as well as issues such as the level of developer talent available.
InfoWorld: What about the Rosario and Orcas releases of Visual Studio? You mentioned refactoring and LINQ.
Sridharan: That's [in] Orcas, what you just mentioned is all Orcas. Rosario is different. So what's in Rosario? Rosario focuses on three primary areas. [The] first area is around organization, collaboration. And so what I mean by that is with Team System we helped your teams collaborate more effectively. And in most organizations you have many software projects and, therefore, many software teams working on those projects.
