Historically, we focused on the independent developer. We wanted to make such developers highly productive. Visual Studio 2005 is no different.

The developer should not even know such processes exist. They should be baked into the tools.

But, we said with [Team System] we'd expand the focus from the individual developer to the broad development team -- including the architect, the tester and the project manager -- integrated in a way that they can collaborate together and be highly productive.

I was an independent developer and started Junction Point in January of 2005.

Blade Network Technologies' acquisition of Nortel's BSSBU will create a well-capitalized, independent, and highly focused company, which we believe can better serve the rapidly growing needs of blade server vendors and their customers.

highly dynamic, innovative and focused organisation.
