YOU DON'T GET IT, MAN. ALL-CAPS INCREASES VISIBILITY. DO YOU NOTICE HOW VISIBLE MY COMMENT IS?

Out of all of the changes they made the all caps menu is probably the most stupid in the history of Visual Studio.

No mention at all about missing C++11 features. I hope their continued silence is not an indicator of nothing to come. http://cpprocks.com/c11-compiler-support-shootout-visual-stu...

It should be noted that features listed as included in the VS2012 Nov CTP, such as initializer lists, variadic templates, etc., should not in my view be listed. The CTP does not work via the Visual Studio interface, but only from the command line compiler. And the CTP is not included in either Update 1 or Update 2.

Meanwhile GCC and Clang are both feature complete: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM1N... http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/GCC-4-8-1-is-C-11-fea...

That was fast.

I don't mind it. It's not like it's high-contrast, large font, or bold, it just serves as a heading for the menus they show without making the font large or bold.

It's definitely nowhere near as annoying as intellisense randomly breaking and putting a red line underneath half your statements.

Way way way way, WAY too soon Microsoft... most shops, including my current employer aren't even on 2012 yet... Honestly I prefer VS to be tied to desktop OS releases or SQL release or something other than yearly.

This is not a Madden game, nobody is asking for yearly updates for Visual Studio.

I'm actually a bit relieved to see a new version of VS so soon. The Entity Framework team said that v6 would come out with the "New" Visual Studio and I was wondering how long that would be. Apparently it's a lot closer than I thought.
