Microsoft on Thursday announced three major betas will be rolling out on February 29: The first beta of Visual Studio 11, the beta of the .NET framework 4.5, and the beta of Visual Studio 11 Team Foundation Server.
Microsoft is expected to roll out the consumer preview of Windows 8 at the same time, and today the Corporate VP of Microsoft's developer division, Soma Somasegar said many of the milestones of Visual Studio are synched with the milestone releases of Windows 8, so as we progress through beta stages, all the products will mature simultaneously.
The beta of Visual Studio 11 will include Go Live licensing, so anything created in the beta version will be publishable.
