• Visual Studio Is GAT dead?

  ... or is there some other reason MS P&P seem reluctant to give any information about a possible RTM version We'll still be branding the December release as a CTP, as it's still an unsupported add-on for Visual Studio and we haven't yet finalized how and when this functionality will become a core component of Visual Studio.
