Microsoft has committed to deliver the next version of its developer tool set and the underlying platform by the end of November.
At the company's TechEd Developers 2007 conference in Barcelona, Spain, on Nov. 5, S. "Soma" Somasegar, corporate vice president of the Developer Division at Microsoft, announced that the company will release Visual Studio 2008 and the .Net Framework 3.5 by the end of this month.
Microsoft also will be opening up its licensing for the Visual Studio technology to give some of its partners greater access to the IDE's (integrated development environment's) source code.
