OK, so TR1 is going to be added to Visual Studio 2008 as an update.

Yippee.

It's nice to see Microsoft's compiler's group adopting the newer standard, especially since g++ has had it for few months now.

If you don't know what TR1 is, it is basically an update to C++. The new version of the standard is taking forever to be drafted, so meanwhile they released a technical report called Technical Report 1 aka TR1.

This comes as no suprise as the guys who provide STL libraries to microsoft, Dimkuware have implemented the TR1.:p
They are just gonna get this from Dimkuware ,I guess.
 
Here are a few more advantages of VS 2008.
Some of the more prominent performance improvements in Visual Studio 2008 that we see include:

· Rebuilding a Visual Basic project and running a background compiler is 3x faster and uses 3x less memory. More about this topic here.

· Scrolling large C# files in the Editor is 100% faster, while typing in new text is 50% faster

· The response time of IntelliSense with large types in C# is up to 10 times faster

· Incremental build time runs up to 90% faster on C++/CLI project solutions. More about this topic here.

· Office Word and Excel files are processed 20x faster on the server

· TFS Version Control command processing was re-written to support unlimited sized operations on key commands without being memory bound on the server. In our measurements, key Commands also run 10% - 60% faster, with the larger improvements associated with bigger projects. More about the work to improve TFS scalability here and here.
