Updated Roadmap...

I just noticed that the Microsoft Developer Tools Roadmap was updated with much of the information presented earlier this year. However, there is much more text describing each of the projects.

After reading this, I had one confusion:

Is the previously mentioned VisualStudio.NET "Orcas" the same as WinFX mentioned at PDC?

  • Orcas Island is north of Whidbey Island, which is north (and west) of the city of Everett. VS.NET 2003 was the "Everett" release. The next version of VS is "Whidbey". After that, "Orcas". I'll never understand why the marketing folks chose a city-island-island scheme for naming releases. It should have been "Whidbey"-"Fidalgo"-"Orcas", all of which are islands. Alas, the fine marketing folks at the very, very small and not so hard corporation have failed to consult an editor once again.
