Bug fixes
Compatibility
As Orcas is an adoption focused release, we have put a lot of emphasis on compatibility with VS2005. We are striving for near 100% compatibility. The Orcas client will be able to work with a VS2005 server and a VS2005 client will be able to work with an Orcas server. There are only a few compatibility issues.
The release after Orcas
I’m not going to talk much about post Orcas details and I’m certainly not going to speculate about dates. At this point we are mostly talking about post Orcas work in terms of “value propositions”. Value propositions identify scenarios or capabilities that we want to invest in. The set of value propositions that we choose for a given release are based on a great deal of customer feedback (forums, blogs, advisory councils, sales engagements, customer research, etc) and our strategic direction. Before talking about the value props that we’ve identified for the release after Orcas, let me say a few words about our strategic direction.
