I'm not expecting a seamless upgrade.
I'd already tried Preview ?, Preview ?, RC, and kept disappointed.
The extension system was not compatible with the one in 2015. My current favorite extensions were not running on it, which became the major drawback for me to try out its features.

I usually do complete system clean install when new VS RTMs

If he can't be arsed to try it in a VM, do you really think this is going to be an option for him?

Indeed!

I was still in the mindset that my only profiling options were:
- (excellent): Redgate ANTS profiler.
- (barely acceptable) VS 2015 inbuild profiling (better than before though)
But a colleague of mine, without initial prejudice, did a google search and lo and behold, a really good and "free" .NET profiler: NProfiler™ - A fast, extremely accurate .NET profiler[^]
I used quote since they have various distribution: community, pro, etc.. with different pricing.
Community is still perfect for home coding, free and a great profiling option!

I will check out the profiler. here's another...
SharpDev Studio has had a free profiler available in it since at least 2010 (way before MS & VStudio)
SharpDevelop @ic#code[^]
It has some really fantastic tools that let you see user mode v kernel mode calls and drill down into the performance and instantly see where the lags are. It's really nice for free.
There is very little or no docs on it though so probably why it has been missed.

Really?
I kind of dropped SharpDev since Visual Studio counter attacked with the community edition!
But nice to know anyway!

That's funny, because that was my experience too.
The SharpDev profiler is better than the VStudio one though, for real.

Just had a quick look at the store page.
Report looks good, but.. no free version.. 
i.e. NProfiler win!

Freeware doesn't always means that it's a good ware. For serious development, I would better not to use it, but using the commercially distributed .NET profiling applications.

Still not free, but if you buy Resharper Ultimate you get it as part of the package (along with dotMemory and dotCover).
Also just looked at your link, and NProfiler isn't free, unless you're a student (or an Open Source maintainer). In which case, all of JetBrains tools are also free.

It's fully-integrated with Visual Studio, displaying the duration of each function call in your code.

Maybe worth to post it in: Free Tools Discussion Boards[^]?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Right!

As I said in the Free Tools forum, the site you've linked to does not provide a "free" version.
The only mention of "free" versions are for open source projects and students. In both cases, you have to contact them to apply for a license.
Call me picky, but I expect a post announcing a "free" tool to actually link to a tool with a free version available.

Ar.. err... yeah looking for the page about the free version now can't find it, my bad...

Oh, what a joy!
One of our customers has had trouble registering their ms products, because:
- The e-mails sent from ms to the client are classified by the customer's filters as spam, so they're bounced.
- ms receives the bounced e-mails, and immediately classifies them as spam (their own e-mails, remember!)
- ms blocks the customer's e-mail account (which was created specifically for registering the products, and has never been, nor will ever be, used for any other purpose) as a spamming account.
- The customer cannot register their ms products!
The ms solution (after many, many hours of %$#@ing about on the phone): "Create a new account!" (which will, obviously, end with the same situation).
Well, Hell!
At least ms recognises spam when it receives it!
It just doesn't recognise it when it sends the damned stuff!
Upshot:
1. An extremely unhappy (Very Important at the international and governmental level) customer.
2. Point 1. is enough.
3. Point 1. is More Than enough.

Are these bounce emails non-standard or something? Seems a stretch to label an email as spam when all it is trying to communicate is that an email address is unreachable...
|
|

The customer can't change the way the e-mails are returned, because of high-level "we may not know entirely what we're talking about, but what we say goes" rules, but, essentially, they're returned because they don't meet stringent spam rules -- which, apparently, are not far off the mark, because ms blocks the same e-mails.
ms has to look at the cr@p and metadata it includes in their e-mails, because these aren't 14-year-old kiddies they're dealing with -- and because they block similar e-mails from 14-year-old kiddies!

I don't make the rules for customers, but, apparently, their bounce rules are extremely tough to get past, so it's more like a "redo and try again" for genuine senders.

I've just been facing a total inability to activate an MSDN subscription for over a month.
Now at the stage of giving up and telling the company to check into a refund.
