I interviewed Craig Symonds, general manager of the Visual Studio product

There is no such link but the questions are right in the interview, so
never mind. :) Great interview, thanks! I'm disappointed to hear
that C# 2.0 still won't do any optimzation worth speaking of, though.
One thing I would have liked to know: how will the VS 2005 editions
fit in the various MSDN subscriptions? Will Team System come with
MSDN Professional? If it doesn't, and the Express products are as
ridiculously cheap as Symonds speculated, I think I'll won't renew my
Pro sub and just get the Express editions I need. NAnt, NUnit & co.
should work nicely, thank you very much.
<rant> MSDN subscriptions have become virtually worthless lately.
Just a cheap and virtually feature-free VS 2003 update, no Whidbey, no
Longhorn, instead Visual C++ sans IDE as a free download, and then
announcements for super-cheap Express versions and Avalon as a free
download. Microsoft nicely cheated me out of my money there, and I
don't want to let that happen again. :/
