I recently downloaded the Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview, and it looks awesome. I read the fine print on the download page, and it says:

Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview is prerelease software and should not be used in production scenarios.

I would be using only the C++ compiler/IDE of VS11, so does anyone know what bugs there are that would prevent me for using VS11 in a production scenario? I really want to start using it and I don’t know if it’s the C++ part that’s not finished, or if it’s just some Team Foundation Somethingorother that has nothing to do with me that’s not fit for the field.

    The licence prohibits it. The WinDP and the associated vNext tools are free- Microsoft would obviously want you to pay. When you download the tools, you agree to the licence terms, which includes not using it in production.

    Another obvious thing is that the C++ Intellisense is more than a tad buggy.
