Visual Studio 2013

Seriously! My company has been keeping up with the latest stuff but I have hard time understanding what the justification was behind releasing a whole new Visual Studio version. Are there new features that won't be available in VS 2012? I guess we'll see at the Build conference.

Update 3 was the last one.

Maybe Microsoft is tight on money. :)

VS is not there to make money directly, but to sell MS platforms - Windows, SQL Server, etc. They give it away for free to students, startups and pretty much anybody who asks. The only reason all editions are not free is to not kill the other commercial Windows IDEs.

Really? You don't have to pay for licenses I imagine.

I'm guessing adoption of 2012 is fairly low.

VS 2013 is for Windows 8.1.
