Today Microsoft revealed that "Rosario" will be VSTS 2010. Not to amazing but it's great to see more of the official words getting out there. The 2010 release will be a huge step forward for the tools in the ALM space. The new architect tools look great, the build system will be improved, the tools for project management will (finally) get support for hierarchical structures, test management... The list just goes on and on...

The complete announcement can be found here.

And Brian Harry of course has some more to add about this in this post.

An updated CTP for VS 2010 will be released sometime soon. I'm really looking forward to PDC in a few weeks 

I just read this piece of good news: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/products/cc948977.aspx and in all the goodness one part especially caught my eyes:

As of October 1, users of 2008 Development Edition or Database Edition will have access to both products.

This I hope will finally boost the use of VSTS-DB, a great product that has been hard to use since not all developers have had the Database Edition as well. Now we can all create database projects in Visual Studio!
