No Tests For You!
I am not a big IDE proponent (other than those typically found in Smalltalk). But when I was teaching and coaching agile development mainly to developers on the MSFT platform I did have Visual Studio installed, and the best thing about it was the plugin for TestDriven.Net.
+1 to that sentiment. It's nice that MS put testing support into some versions of Visual Studio, but they really could have learned something from TD.NET. TD.NET makes things seamless, while the Visual Studio interface for running tests is klunky - it looks like it was designed by a committee, with nobody on the committee who actually used the feature.
OK, so I'll concede that maybe Jamie is in violation of the EULA. IANAL, but since it's MS' EULA, I guess they get to interpret it. That's not here or there. My takeaway on this is that MS doesn't want to encourage good development practices among low-end users - hobbyists, students, people trying to start something on their own who don't have the budget for Professional edition. This isn't like a trademark, where ignoring a violation sets legal precedent. MS could easily look the other way, but they'd rather kill the development community around Visual Studio plugins. If they press on this and shut Jamie down, it's going to set a really bad example.
