Are you doing cool stuff? If so, you need to communicate how cool it is, with demo apps, exciting examples, articles, talks, and seminars. I love to bring the best new technologies into the public eye. I'm especially a fan of innovative programming tools and mobility software (Tablet PC, SmartPhone, and .NET Compact Framework).

Unit Testing in all VS 2005 Versions

I want everyone who agrees with me to blog the following sentence:

Unit Testing support should be included with all versions of Visual Studio 2005 and not just with Team System.

via [ScottWater]

I agree
I think a "blog petition" is pretty damn clever
But what I really want is for VSTS to provide a FIT interface, which is a declarative spreadsheet interface to unit-tests. If Microsoft needs to differentiate their unit-testing support in order to justify the different SKUs, they should provide basic unit-testing in all versions, basic programmer-oriented FIT in Professional, and FIT front-ends in Word / Excel for Enterprise and VSTS editions. Everyone wins.
