Tante cose che potete leggere alla fonte, ma a me ne 
interessano alcune in particolare:
  
    - 
    Start Orcas with no bug debt. This effort was a transition to get more realistic about how much work we can actually do along with a serious amount of bug fixing. This eventually led to blogging a guide for the kinds of bugs that we can handle during the Orcas product cycle.  
- New setup technology rollout. We moved from an old setup technology to a setup based on XML. 
- Convert our builds to MSBuild. We now use MSBuild to build Visual C++. 
- Team 
    Foundation . We’re moving to VS Team Foundation for our source control and bug tracking. 
We’ve fixed a lot of bugs:
            So far, over 200 VC++ bug fixes are going into VS 2005 sp1 http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2006/6/22.aspx.
            So far, over 700 VC++ bug fixes are going into Orcas.
