[TechRepublic] Visual Studio 11 RC receives updated UI

TechRepublic Australia Wrapper TechRepublic Member | May 09, 2012

Editor's note HI EVERYONE, IT'S BEEN A GREAT WEEK. Sorry, for a moment there I slipped into Visual Studio 11 mode, where cases are switched and the menus now shout at you. Thankfully its only an RC at this point, so Microsoft can yet change its way on this. Also this week, Google launched its Sudo event series aimed at entrepreneurs, specifically start-up folk. Space for the first event is tight, but the search giant says that it will be running more events over the coming months. Have a good weekend all, and we'll catch up again with next week's Wrapper. -- Chris Visual Studio 11 RC receives updated UI Microsoft has updated the look for Visual Studio 11's release candidate, and it looks good, apart from one minor menu thing.
