Does anyone know if the RTM version will be able to upgrade to the full version once it is released? Also, will it be able to install updates later on?

#32Any idea for the availibility of the Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2015?
The 2013 ones work if you go hack the VSIX. It's just a version change in the manifest.

#33Note that the "comparison" page offers near-zero guidance on whether you're allowed to use the Community edition, to the point that it's really not a comparison at all: https://www.visualstudio.com/vs-2015-product-editions The community edition is free for individual developers, developers creating open source projects under an approved OSI license, or for up to 5 developers in an entire organization. Basically, it's…
They offer a detailed comparison matrix here...

Uh, so if I'm interpreting everything correctly indie developers for Windows/Phone 8/10 can use community edition. The only feature really missing is TFS/Code Lens). That's pretty great! no need for me to keep paying for Professional.
(The Windows 10 stuff won't be available until July 29)

#35Too bad this does only contain the preview of .NET 5. I hoped this release would bring a more stable version of .NET 5
It contains .NET 4.6, which is stable and not .NET 5. AFAIK, .NET 5 doesn't exist?

Which also omits any ability to compare features to what the Express edition offers.

Intellitrace is also missing. I've heard great things about it, but have never used it due to the cost

That's a pretty good summary. The only extra catch is that enterprise organizations cannot use the community edition except for open source / educational purposes. The kicker is that they define enterprise as 250+ PCs -OR- $1 million plus annual revenue. That definitely borks a lot of smallish companies working in certain fields.
to be honest, if you have 250 PCs or $1mm revenue, you can spend $45/month per developer on the software tools necessary for them to do their jobs without getting 'borked'.
