Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

The release of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 is imminent, with Team Foundation Server not too far behind. What does this mean for other vendors in the development tools marketplace? It means shifting investment patterns and careful positioning as they gear up for a combination of competition and coexistence. And what does it mean for users? They will face decisions about how to move forward their existing Microsoft Development Network (MSDN) subscriptions and Visual Studio licenses, as well as careful consideration of which vendors have both real value-add over Microsoft's own products and a sustainable offering in the Visual Studio universe.
