Looks like MS is making mostly small changes, focusing on improving the features they already have instead of introducing lots of new changes.

I believe the install experience is getting a lot better as well.

At the Build conference they had a demo where they "forgot" to install VS before the presentation, and then installed it from an USB stick in about one minute.

I'm installing now, but not from USB...

Looks like the download page is getting hammered. FWIW, the download buttons on the big white panels didn't work for me. If you scroll further down the page to the list of all downloads, that worked.

Piss-poor caching mechanism that can't spit out static frontpages with relative ease. Still getting 504's.

They're integrating xamarin into visual studio. That's pretty big no?

Is the new xamarin going to be any less buggy?
