Microsoft Thanks Larry Aultman for Efforts
Visual Studio 2010 Launched with the effort of its developer supporters.
S. Somasegar, Senior Vice President, Microsoft Developer Division following the general release of Visual Studio 2010 in April, recognized the efforts of hundreds of developer contributors in the building of Visual Studio 2010.
As one of many, Larry Aultman contributed to the development effort of Visual Studio 2010 and this is not the first time he has had recognition from Microsoft. Larry Aultman was recognized by Microsoft on the earlier Visual Studio 2008 product which is one of the most successful software development tools used by programmers worldwide.
Here is his message...
