Redmond showed off its forthcoming modeling tools at the first of its 30-city whistle-stop tour.
Microsoft kicked off its 30-city DevDays tour here on Monday with a demonstration of the "Whitehorse" modeling tools that it plans to integrate into the next version of its Visual Studio tool suite.
Whitehorse is just one of a number of new features that Microsoft is planning on including in its Visual Studio "Whidbey" release that is due out by the end of calendar 2004. Microsoft has said it also will include an updated version of its .Net Compact Framework; a revised version of its ASP.Net development environment; and support for new features in the languages that comprise its developer environment.
