Sam [Guckenheimer, Lead Product Planner for Orcas]: Visual Studio code-named 'Orcas' delivers on Microsoft's vision of smart client applications by enabling developers to rapidly create data driven, connected applications that deliver the highest quality rich user experiences, providing full support for the Windows Vista and Office System smart client platforms. Beyond that, Visual Studio code-named 'Orcas' enterprise capabilities enable developers in any size organization to rapidly create more secure, manageable & reliable applications using key technologies such as the Microsoft Business Framework and Dynamic Systems Initiative. As per the current status, our teams have now started developing on this vision, and we will know more about timelines and release mechanisms around TechEd in June."
