Send proactive notifications when Windows Store developer license is about to expire
Several of us (including Scott Hanselman and Daniel Plaisted) have just been discussing on Twitter the expiration of the developer license for Windows Store apps.
Given that it's a pain when it does expire unexpectedly, Visual Studio could be more proactive with it's warnings.
- A popup could appear in the app 5, 2, and 1 day before expiration.
- The user could subscribe for emails to notify them.
The killer with this bug is for hobbyist programmers who only pick up the project rarely. They're likely to be disappointed if they were, say, on a train about to do…

Use HTML table tags for query results, not CSS created tables.
When you do a query for items such as workitems, the results appear to be returned in what is visually a table. But this table appears to be created using only CSS tags and such so structurally does not appear as a table to assistive technology such as screen readers. This makes the results more difficult to read, since screen readers have multiple commands to read tables in various ways.

Keyboard Shortcut to expand / highlight folder like "Model", "Views", and "Controllers"
In my workflow, I'd like to easily set up a keyboard shortcut to open "Views", then type "P" to go to the first P....Controller file. The best solution I can find now is to set up macros, etc, it should be really easy. Right-click on a folder, "Add open shortcut..." and a dialog to define a highlighting shortcut set.

New ArraySegment, An ArraySegmentRelative
I find it very useful arraySegment, but I need a class "sister" to extend its usefulness. It allows me to use an array without copying data.
The current Absolute ArraySegment:
it's Aboslute. If Array have 20 items, If offset it's 5 and count it's 10, Still I have to tell you the absolute pointer when working with him.
To indicate the element 7, I have to write Myas(7).The proposing Relative (new) ArraySegment:
When I point to the 7th element in the array and since the ArraySegment, Offset was 5, I should indicate this Myas (2) not as Myas (7).…

The new Find dialog/window should not grab the focus on a search.
After selecting some text to search and pressing Ctrl+F the new Find dialog pops up (which I hate with a passsion). The horrible thing about it is that it now has the focus. To get back to editing - which is what I want to do - I have to press Esc or close the new Find dialog.
Please, please, please fix this. Either put an option in to hide the horrible new Find dialog, or stop it grabbing the focus all the time3 votes -

Fix the 'Identity and Access Tool' extension to make it works with VS2012 Update 2
The "Identity and Access Tool" extension doesn't work anymore with the last update of VS2012 (Update 2). It is thus not possible to add a STS Reference to a project without it.

non-SIMD fused multiply-accumulate intrinsics
I want intrinsic functions like _mm_fmadd_f64(double, double, double), for use in non-SIMD code.
Currently the only way to access FMA in non-SIMD code is to use _mm_set_sd() and _mm_cvtsd_f64(), which results not only in major code bloat but bad performance as _mm_set_sd() emits extra instructions to clear out the high double AND you need to call it 3 times.

Improve layer diagram to help it keep up to date.
Improve layer diagram to help it keep up to date.
I find the layer diagram the best feature of VS2010 as it allows me to define dependencies between my components explicitly and check them.
I want that somehow I would know that "valid" layer diagram is no longer relevant, because there's new class in the file, etc.3 votes -
Support OpenMP with Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO)
MSVC supports both OpenMP parallelism and PGO of parallel code, but not both at the same time. As a developer trying to write fast code (as most of us are), I find both OpenMP and PGO to be valuable tools, so let's get them playing together.

More refactoring to Unit Test Projects
Something like refactor utilities in VS2010, but for testing.
Example: I have a class with two public methods. If change to private some one of them, would be good if the associated test refactor to use Accessor. Or if I change the type of a variable of the method, it change in all test.
Very thanks

Publish the source code of the F# project plugin for Visual Studio
The source code of the compiler is already available, which makes it possible for users to experiment and customize the language (see for instance http://tomasp.net/blog/fsharp-variations-joinads.aspx). However, intellisense and error highlighting in Visual Studio is closed, which means it will choke on code that is valid "customized F#" but invalid "vanilla F#".
Opening the VS plugin would make it possible to keep the IDE and the language in sync.3 votes
