More on Visual Studio 2013 and the new features

Now that the Visual Studio 2013 preview is here, it's time to take a quick look on its new features. New features might be coming along the way, but at this point, I'd highlight the following (in no particular order):

• Larger Pending Changes window for your version control changes. In Visual Studio 2013, you can “pop out” the smaller window as it appeared in Visual Studio 2012. This way, you get way more horizontal space, which is great for long path names.
• Code information indicators inside the editor (think "augmented reality" for code). These work as tooltips, and give information about methods, unit tests, and many more.
• Cloud-based load testing. This alone sounds like a very worthwhile feature, especially for web, tablet and mobile applications.
• Edit and Continue feature for 64-bit applications. This feature allows you to modify your C# code while debugging, and see those changes applied on the fly without stopping the application and building it again.

Good reading on this topic include blog post from Harry and this blog post from Somasegar. And of course, the bits are available, too.
