We posted earlier that on 2/29 when Microsoft announced the Visual Studio 11 Beta, SubMain was one of the first partners with CodeIt.Right product that provided full support for the new VS Beta. We currently are running private Beta program for our GhostDoc product that is also VS11 Beta compatible.

We are happy to announce that SubMain is one of the partners to sim-ship (Simultaneously Ship) our products together with the Visual Studio 11 RTM! You will be able to enjoy fully compatible version of our products when you install Visual Studio 11 on the release day!

In the meantime you are welcome to test drive CodeIt.Right and GhostDoc together with Visual Studio 11 Beta:

PrettyCode.Print and StudioTools no longer fit our strategic corporate direction to deliver best code quality tools on the market.
