Its a great sense of relief to finally ship this product, we really hope folks give it a try and join our live keynote which is streaming now at <a href="http://launch.visualstudio.com" rel="nofollow">http://launch.visualstudio.com</a>
Where did the ISO:s go? Please give us something with a known hash.<p>I attempted to create the offline installer [1] but the vs_community.exe just silently quit after some mintues, having downloaded only some certificates.<p>The custom download idea is easily planted with malware and all those bad things.
Also, please consider upgrading from SHA-1.<p>> We understand that a lot of customers want an offline installer for Visual Studio 2017. Even though we don't offer an ISO image, it's easy to create your own.<p>1: <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/create-an-offline-installation-of-visual-studio" rel="nofollow">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/create...</a>
For those who don't know, VS community is feature wise almost identical to professional, less CodeLens, Azure benefits, and TFS features.<p><a href="https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/compare/" rel="nofollow">https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/compare/</a>

Is it viable for those of us with only a handful of GB free in our C: drives? 2015 and previous would only put a few bits in the "install location", and still pollute the C: drive with up to 20 GB of stuff of hardcoded paths.
I'm excited to use VS 2017 and generally very pleased with their C++ language support and integrations like git and cmake.<p>It's a minor nitpick, but I must say I was disappointed to see this issue unceremoniously closed: <a href="https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio-ide/suggestions/5672660-improve-intellisense-tooltip-for-make-shared-make" rel="nofollow">https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-stud...</a>
VS 2017 is rounding up to be the best 2017 yet released. It's much faster and packed with tons of useful new features. Pretty happy with using it!
I've used Visual Studio for many years.<p>Visual Studio 5.0 was very responsive. Visual Studio 2015 is not as responsive. Nowadays it seemes a bit bloated, even after disabling unused plugins and features.<p>Switched to CLion and Rider, which are not known for their speed, but feel more responsible than VS to me. That and a more affordable price and cross-platform support.
Very cool that their "Mobile Center" SDK has React Native support. [0]<p>This looks very feature competitive with the "AWS Mobile Hub", even going beyond it with its CI app build integration with GitHub and device simulators!<p>Also, although they announced Amazon Pinpoint in December, there is still no support for it in their "beta" React Native Mobile SDK [0] (Which has had no commits in 5 months)<p>[0] <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile-center/sdk/getting-started/React-Native" rel="nofollow">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile-center/sdk/getting-s...</a><p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-react-native" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-react-native</a>
Does anyone know how to unsubscribe from the "Your Visual Studio Subscriptions update for March" spam emails from Microsoft? I think they're super annoying, and have no unsubscribe instructions <i>at all</i>. I just got one announcing this launch.
Usually a new version of VS comes with a new version of the .net framework. It doesn't seem to be the case here. I can't see the tuples announced for VB for instance.<p>I am getting an error with Dim p As (x As Integer, y As Integer) saying that I am missing a reference to 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TupleElementNamesAttribute' (but if tuples are part of the language why do I need an external reference? and this assembly doesn't seem to exist anyway). In fact right now a simple empty command line program containing nothing more than the below hangs the VS IDE completely...<p><pre><code> Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim p As (x As Integer, y As Integer)
End Sub
End Module</code></pre>
<i>Finally</i> seems that wildcards in project files are handled correctly by Visual Studio now, i.e.<p><pre><code> <Compile Include="**\*.cs" />
</code></pre>
looking forward saying goodbye to the no.1 source of merge conflicts for us!
Most of the web dev features they are so excited about already have been in various IDE's (IDEA, Sublime with plugins, Netbeans etc) for couple of years. Some of which are source map, live reload, linter, ES5/6 support etc.
I am on bazel learning curve and was searching to integrate Bazel build system with visual studio (xamarin) project, apparently Bazel support for windows is still too nascent. I home something comes up on this lines.
Someday I hope it finally gets ported to x64 so that it can use more than a tiny fraction of the RAM in my desktop, instead of page thrashing all the time.
