So
VisualStudio 2010 is out, yay. Prices according to the
website:
- Professional $1,199 or 1.283€
- Premium $5,469 or 5.855€
- Ultimate $11,899 or 12.739€
That means the cheapest version, the professional edition would cost me about 543 dollars more just because I'm living in Europe. The Ultimate edition is 5403 dollar more expensive for Europeans then for Americans. That's quite a big difference.
In addition, it looks like only the Ultimate Edition contains UML diagrams which I was really looking for, and only some very few of them (Activity, Use Case, Sequence, Class, Component). The current UML specification contains about 14 diagrams as opposed to these 5.
I really would have liked buying this for my company, but this way it feels not right at all. So it looks like I will continue to use
my faviourite UML tool for now.
