We just got done giving a talk on NTVS & PTVS at Build in SF. The reception was great (given this is a primarily .net conference). I did an informal poll of the audience (180 or so), asking whether they were planning on deploying node/python in their enterprise. The response was around 75-85% Yes to both, which was somewhat higher that I had expected.
The cool new feature is this Beta are TypeScript integration, Remote debugging (inc. linux), Edit&Continue (no server restart), free edition (NTVS + VS Express), etc. and numerous bug fixes.
To address a few comments regarding strategy - most are correct, though some are over thinking it a bit :). The project was proposed & started by the PTVS (python) folks, and mgmt was rather lukewarm about it. It was definitely not part of some uber P1 strategy. I wish it was. However, since then it's gained some momentum thanks to the community and it's become important enough that Scott Guthrie mentioned it in his keynote, and Soma (SVP for developer division) just blogged about it.
a few new videos (pls excuse the production, we do our own videos...)
It is great that the installation works with Express. Much preferable to the approach taken by the Python Tools for VS requiring a separate installation of the bare VS shell. They say they can't enable installation of PTVS on Express because Express doesn't support extensions. I guess you aren't doing NTVS as an extension. Any hope for getting PTVS to install on Express using whatever method you are using?
Do you guys do any automated testing of node.js apps on windows hosts via vagrant? The vagrant-windows and winrm gems are woefully out of date and broken on vagrant 1.5.1, so I was wondering how you guys handle testing node.js apps running on windows.
