VS 2013 Login ???
-
A little late to the party, I installed VS2013 today. Now it wants me to login. !?!? huh !??!!? My instinct says no no no. However, I am curious. What do I get for hooking it to my MSDN account? What do I get for creating a "Visual Studio Online Account" ? I think I should I run from that. I use VS but I don't want to be assimilated into a VS Borg. But I want to see what it is... I feel like a mousetrap is going to snap if I take a nibble.

It's not required. In fact, I often find I'm logged out in subsequent instances. I think if you want to auto-sync your settings amongst installations then a login is required.

Here is what you do. Lie down on your back, grab the cheese and hold the steel in your hands as you do some bench presses :rolleyes:

If it's the trial version, you can extend it by a few months. Other than that, I think it periodically uploads your code to Microsoft so they can have a laugh. All this cloud nonsense is getting very annoying.

It's not a bad idea to create an account. You'll get a Visual Studio online account (eg, https://jeremyfalcon.visualstudio.com) and online TFS hosting for projects. Not that I'd never use it for personal projects, but it's nice to know if I get tired of Google Code or whatever, I always have access to another offsite code repo for code. Edit: Keep in mind I'm only talking about the free parts.
