That’s my concern about dropping VS 2010 support. So this is both a question about how fast Visual Studio moves, but also the people who use Visual Studio.<br>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra">Agreed. I think the question here is whether or not it's reasonable for this change and less whether or not it's reasonable as a path for each release to then deprecate everything more than 2 years old. I'd like to get rid of VS2010 because I want the features of 2012 and few of the current people developing on windows have spoken up (and most of them positively), but you do quite a bit of work and maintenance with windows so your thoughts are definitely important here. Do you think it's reasonable?</div>
