Visual Studio 2012 user experience study

Have you been using Visual Studio 2012 over the past few months?

If you have, Microsoft’s Steven Clarke is looking for your feedback!

Steven works out of Microsoft’s Edinburgh office and has played a big part getting Visual Studio 2012 to where it is.

This is your chance to provide feedback that could make it into the next update! Release cycles are now more frequent, you could see your feedback in place via regular updates rather than a major service pack!

Steven’s happy to chat over the phone, or if you’d prefer to do coffee in Edinburgh, Steven’s open to a meet up in Microsoft’s Edinburgh office too.
