The Question raise here is : how much new stuff will still be in preview? 

Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 to solve, together with the .NET Framework 4.6 and Server 2015 source code management and collaboration product Team Foundation, July 20, nine days before the general availability of Windows 10, according to an announcement from the developer Veep S " Soma "Somasegar.

Visual Studio 2015 is crucial for the strategy of Microsoft Windows. The software giant will win with the goal of developers, the new Universal-Windows platform, to allow the same applications run on multiple types of devices, Windows 10, including PCs, smartphones and gaming console Xbox One.

Another part of the strategy, is also enabled in Visual Studio 2015, it is for developers to convince them to use tools and technologies Target operating systems other than Microsoft Windows. The new IDE can build mobile applications for iOS and Android and Windows Mobile, and even includes an emulator for Android on Hyper-V, Microsoft virtualization hypervisor. It also allows web application developers in ASP.Net to write (now in version 5.0), Python or Node.js on Linux and OS X and Windows running.

Developers who are stuck in Visual Studio, instead of migrating to alternatives such as Apple Xcode or studying Google Android, is also likely to Windows in their plans, and use Microsoft Online Services - provision of mobile backend Azure (cloud platform companies) for example.

Some of the tools that come with Visual Studio, from the other side receives, Apache Cordova run including compiler Xamarin to C # applications on iOS, Android and Mac and open source project, so that you can create cross-platform mobile apps with HTML and JavaScript , Xamarin only free Starter Edition is with Visual Studio, though included, so developers are important applications to purchase an additional license.

Tools such as Project Astoria (for applications porting to Windows 10 Android Mobile), Iceland Wood Project, and the Century Project ((compiled on Objective C for Windows 10) for packaging applications native Windows desktop for shopping Windows), they are not yet ready for the release and no delivery dates have been announced.

The implementation of ASP.Net applications on Linux or Mac requires a fork open source .Net Framework .Net called core. Somasegar announcement said the final version of the .NET 4.6 will be available on July 20, but did not mention .NET Core and some parts still in the preview, when Visual Studio 2015 ships be.Promised another new feature in Visual Studio 2015, the ability to ASP.Net to be published five applications for Windows or Linux with a container Docker - but again, not surprising that this still can be previewed.

"Roslyn", the codename for the new Microsoft platform compiler is also part of the new features of Visual Studio and powers as an extensible code completion and refactoring, and the ability to automatically generate unit tests.

The new IDE support C # 6.0, Visual Basic and C # 14 4.0, the latest version of the Microsoft .NET languages. An upgrade to Visual C ++ includes new support for the official standards in C ++ 11, C ++ and C ++ 14 17 Parts, typescript, 1.4, a language that is compiled to Javascript, also in the supplied package, as it is a beta version 1.5 typing.

This is a major release for Microsoft and for Windows because persistent journey from Redmond to cross on their mobile technologies and web applications platforms and new ways to support 10. With the two without relying in the preview applications for Windows but it should not be seen as the goal of a milestone.
