Yeah, i am looking forward to upgrade from vs12 
hope it’s soon.
HTML + JS == ewww (though the demo did look pretty cool; breakpoints and click to show “DOM” object in the markup)
Didn’t Xamarin announce something regarding Starter Edition? I know they said it’s 2015 compatible, but I thought something about free integration into VS – currently/previously you’d need to buy the Pro version.
What’s the definition of an “Enterprise” application?
Is it just for non-“professional” development? Or can small companies use it to develop internal/customer facing applications?
Found this: Microsoft Launches Free, Unrestricted Version Of Visual Studio For Small Teams | TechCrunch
I guess this is like the free TFS for small teams of a year or two ago.

Lol, even the marketing manager at Microsoft can’t get it right… SIGNAL-R! SIGNAL! NOT SINGLE-R!
Cant find the sequence, can you say which one of the slots IOT and Gadgeteer is appearing?
As I read it, non Enterprise is anything non profit and teams up to 5 developers.
Could it be: non Enterprise is anything non profit OR teams up to 5 developers?
I’m from Bavaria/Germany, so your OR is my AND

What’s the definition of “enterprise”? Company size? Profit? Non Client/Server?
It’s a very ambiguous term, imo.
Oh shoot, I’ll have to run … thanks 4 the notification
… time flies when having fun with VS2015 …
Yeah, I have some errands too. Will watch it later. 
Enterprise means >250 PCs or >$1MM in annual revenue. For those users, only the academic/open-source/etc stuff. For non-enterprise (<250 PCs, <$1MM in annual revenue), up to 5 developers working on commercial stuff.
Giving away what is essentially full Visual Studio Professional for free to individuals and very small companies is huge, in my opinion.
Between the free VS and all the open source releases I think it speaks to how much ground Microsoft has lost in the development world over the last few years.
I haven’t watch yet this morning but what I saw yesterday was exciting.
@ andre.m - The majority of the development going on is in the web and device world. Visual Studio is not the “go-to” development environment for those areas. Some of that is because of cost, the other is because VS has been primary for the Microsoft ecosystem. My hope is that where companies have created extensions for Eclipse they will start doing the same thing for VS.
I still think the web dev world is chaos. I am working on developing a single page web site. The number of plugins and addons to make it all happen is crazy. It makes me anxious to get back to my embedded development projects.
We generally think of “Enterprise” as the kind of company that would normally buy volume licenses.
But here’s our actual definition
