    How does this compare to previous versions? Is this a lot more expensive? The Pro version doesn't seem to off the mark.

    The pro pricing is basically unchanged. Premium pricing is roughly inline with Team System Kitchen Sink edition. The $11k edition has no predecessor. Standard ($350) and Team System One Part Only ($2.5k) editions appear to be KIA.

      I'm glad they didn't just make up a price and say "$11,299". If it were that price you'd know they hadn't thought it through, but clearly at $11,294 they have done their best to scrape every last dollar off the price.

        Wow... Just... wow... You know, I like .NET and WPF and everything, but prices like that make me think it may be time to switch to Java.

        I spent the majority of the last two years doing Java dev work with NetBeans. It was like a breath of fresh air. It works, it's stable and I was able to produce good product quickly. And it's all free.

          Ultimate is Team Server + Team Suite ... it costs so much because it comes with the TFS server. Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team System Team Suite (with MSDN Premium)[^]

            And MS seems to have plotted a course out. For themselves, anyway. :-D (Not to worry. I hear the surplus income is being re-routed to the Windoze Mobile group. They're going to buy an Android phone, reverse engineer it, then release WM7 - Android With Bugs.) ;)

                    I assume the express edition will still be available, which is affordable.

                      Now is the time I start looking for the MS launch event for VS2010 so I can score a free copy. I've had good luck so far. I've got a shiny new copy of VS for free with each launch to date. Scored Windows 7 last week the same way. Victory Stewy!

                                  2001 is overrated. Kubric is overrated. Clark's later books are massively overrated; his early stories in Astounding are much better.

                                      Agreed. His work got progressively worse (more insipid) as he got older.
