There is a lot of noise lately about the
TestDriven net breaking the VS Studio Express EULA. Just wanna add my 0.2 eurocents to all this :
- i think that Jamie Casendale has NO RIGHT to do this. Yes...you read this right. I'm with Microsoft on this one. If you look at the "TheServerDise.NET" link above you can read the following gem :
"Jamie Cansdale released a free addin for VS that lets developers run unit That's bull. TestDriven.NET is NOT free for a professional developer. According to the TestDrive site it can be used freely ONLY "if you are a trial user, student or open source developer". Personally this rubs me the wrong way because TestDriven.NET is simply a quick way to make money on open source projects (NUnit, MbUnit) and this whole Microsoft is bullying me smells like a PR stunt. Jamie Casendale has no right to break the MS EULA. -no matter how hard Microsoft tries to claim, VS Express editions are simply
COMMERCIALS (yes...you read it right) for the commercial counterparts. The' re REALLY is no need for them. Hobbist developers can use and extend
#Develop without problems.
