A wealth of additional features

This "step-up" means you will get an edition with many more features than you have with your current Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 edition.

Make sure your subscription is active when Visual Studio 2010 ships!

This offer is only available to Volume Licensing customers (Open, Open Value, Select and EA).
