    Oh wow. So by the looks of it the only thing they have changed is... new colours!

    Quick Commands and searchable windows have nothing to do with colors, but if thats all you got from the post then I am guessing you only "looked" at it and did not read it. Even just the styling things there are items not about colors White space styling vs. line and Removal of non essential commands by default to mention a couple

      So it's seem colors and gradients are now out again? These things seem to be cyclic. Expect VS 12 (or maybe 13 if I'm being generous) to boast about it's brightly colored icons and tasteful use of gradients.

      Well if you think about marketing that is what makes sence to do. If everything is colorful and bright and you want your system to stand out and be unique tone down. Then when everyone begins to mimic you (again), brighten up. Rinse and repeat and stay ahead of the market :-D

        I have no idea. You can respond to the VS Blog post and maybe get an answer.

            While I think it's generally a positive move in the interface, I am not so sure about the iconography. The comment, uncomment icons, for instance, aren't intuitive.

              That was my thoughts as well. I think the iconography could work and I see the point, but some of the ones they showed ...:confused: But seems they are claiming the new new users find it easily. From one percpective that is sightly more important as the 'new' users just need to be retrained. The new new users however have no training and do not know the functionality (thus too much stuff hides the good stuff). Might just be we need to see it more to imprint our brains.

                    I would have rather they just fixed bugs and increased the speed of VS than change the interface. I don't meant to be the stodgy old fart but do programmers really care about icongraphy so long as it is easy to identify and is always in the same place? (Oh, wait they kept the annoying ever changing tool bar)

                              Amen to that. I came to VS2010 from VS6 - 2010 runs like a dog in comparison. Even with multi-core compilation, it is still slower than VS6, compilation regularly freezes up my whole machine and the compilation dependency scanner seems to have taken a huge step backwards (it uses some arcane an indecipherable rules to decide what needs recompiling and when - and pretty much always decides that everything needs to be rebuilt).

                                I have no doubt that DevDiv's war on Moore's law is continuing apace and that the release version will consume between 2x and 3x as many system resources as VS2k10 does. Meanwhile I'm at least a year from a laptop upgrade and strongly suspect that what I'll be getting (a CPU that blocks twice as hard on IO bottlenecks, and a new battery) will have little relation to what I want (240GB SSD, 16GB ram) other than the fact that it will cost twice as much as upgrading my system while delivering less of a return.

                                Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                                    Did they remove that option?? I know I did it with VS2k3 out of the box many years ago. It's how I discovered my default printer was a color model; and the one next to it was the B&W one.

                                      Yep, VS2008 did it, but VS2010 doesn't. They did have an official Microsoft workaround however, just cut and paste into Word and print from there! Really annoying.

                                        Those fuckers. The god-damned Expression Blend team got to them. It's got the same fucking unreadable color scheme UI! Agist pricks.

                                          Looks like a return to 2003. :|
