Tools like this have always been how Microsoft segments the highest-price "Ultimate" version of Visual Studio (or whatever MS marketing has renamed things this month).
As best I can tell there is no mention in this article of how this feature will be priced, which winds up limiting how often it will be useful simply because of availability. Let me know when this shows up in the free SKUs ("Express") or perhaps even the drug-pusher-like "Community" (first hit is free, unless/until you're making money) edition.
It is perfectly reasonable on their part as a company selling dev tools to do this; I just feel like I'm window-shopping, unable to actually afford the really cool bits. In my dreams I am way off base and this functionality is freely available for all now - I kind of have the feeling something similar been around for a while in the Ultimate SKU.
(Also, let me know if this ever comes to managed code.)
