I’ve heard a few questions pretty often over the last few weeks and I learned something incredibly cool in the process:
- Can I install Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 and Visual Studio 2008 side by side? Presumably, since I’m/you’re still working on some VS2008 projects.
- Can I run Team Explorer 2008 and Team Explorer 2010 Beta 2 side by side?
The answer to the first question is “Yes.” I’m doing it and it’s working just fine. Not surprising since this scenario worked with the transition from Visual Studio 2005 to Visual Studio 2008.
The more exciting answer is the answer to the second question. Not only can I run Team Explorer 2008 and Team Explorer 2010 Beta 2 side by side, but if I install the ‘Team Explorer 2008 Forward Compatibility Update (GDR)’ http://blogs.msdn.com/teams_wit_tools/archive/2009/10/19/compatibility-matrix-for-2010-beta-2-team-foundation-server-to-team-explorer-2008-and-2005.aspx#_Toc243567874 then my workspace works across Team Explorer 2010 Beta 2 and Team Explorer 2008. It’s very exciting to see these kinds of details in the product. Great work!
