Is it possible to use Visual Studio 2015 CTP 6 for a production environment?
Checked VS homepage for info but couldn't find any.
It is possible but you do so at your own risk. The download page for Visual Studio 2015 Preview says clearly that the software is not intended for use on production computers, or to create production code. The relevant text from that page says:
NOTE Visual Studio 2015 Preview and .NET 4.6 Preview are for testing
and feedback purposes only. This release is unsupported and are not
intended for use on production computers, or to create production
code. We strongly recommend only installing this release in a virtual
machine, or on a computer that is available for reformatting.
The rule of thumb is that CTP build usually has no 'Go Live' support and anything can change dramatically.
In a later Beta or RC build, you might read from Visual Studio team blog at MSDN they will announce Go Live support.

Which all things should be considered while adopting any newer version of Visual Studio? E.g. Moving from VS 2015 to VS 2017 OR VS 2017 to latest VS 2019.
What problems may come if all developers are not using the same Visual Studio version?
Generally speaking, can CI pipeline restrict us for whatever reason?
Note: All my projects are built on .NET Framework 4.6.2.
Personal opinions:
If you use Microsoft Azure Tools, when you open the solution for the first time in a new VS version, it will ask you to upgrade the project to the new Microsoft Azure Tools. That means your other developers, if you want them to continue see that .Azure project, need to upgrade the Microsoft Azure Tools version too.
You can have different versions of the language.
In Visual Studio 2017 you can use C# 7.0 while in Visual Studio 2015, C# 6.0 is the latest acceptable version. That means if the developer who is using VS2017 is writing C# 7.0 code, it won't compile on the developer's machine who is using VS2015.
Same as above. Your build agent should be have the latest version of VS installed. If he tries to build a project having C# 7.0 while he uses VS2015's MSBuild, an error would be thrown in the pipeline.
Those are the problems we have encountered. It is best that all the team migrates to the same Visual Studio version (hope the highest one) because you will have a lot of new features available for all.

I just started at a new company and on my computer I have:
VS 2003
VS 2005
VS 2008
VS 2010
VS 2012
VS 2013
We do have old apps we support but the plan is to upgrade them as we need to make changes to them.I should be able to open any app in VS 2013 correct? Whether its C# or VB
Do I need all these versions?
If no .NET 1.1 stuffs, you can remove VS 2003.
If no compact framework, VS 2008 is not needed.
VS 2013 does provide all the rest generally speaking.
Exceptions do exist, such as
VS 2013 does not support many old frameworks such as MVC 1/2
VS 2013 doesn't support old versions of Silverlight.
The answer is clearly No to the part of your question about opening any app in VS2013. Microsoft have removed support for some project types over the years, so you can not open "any app" in VS2013

I am starting to develop apps for Windows 8 Phone. There are three IDEs that I have come across for development purposes:
VS2012 Professional
VS2012 Express
VS 2012 Ultimate
Which IDE should I use, and why?
That decision is a little bit depend from what you want to achieve. If you are a professional and want to earn money with your development, i would recommend the Professional.
If you do this just for fun or are a programming beginner, the Express Edition really is enough. If you get more professional you still can upgrade to the Professional Version at any time. Furthermore Express Edition is for free.
So if you reach the limits of the Express Edition you will notice it, don't worry.
Visual Studio Professional will let you develop for more all platforms i.e. Phone, Desktop, Store, Web etc, you will be able to use extensions and plugins and it is free.
Visual Studio Express is free but you cannot use extensions and you need one Visual Studio Express for each platform.

I installed Visual Studio 11 (developer preview edition) last week, since then, the build speed of the previous version (VS 10).
- using diagnostic build the "GenerateResource" task takes much longer than other processes (about a minute!)
- checked all .resx files for version conflict, all are 4.0.0.0 (project is developed using .NET 4.0)
does anyone have any idea?
I just asked MS about the problem on Connect, apparently it is a problem with side-by-side installing Visual Studio .NET 11 Developer Preview Edition with Visual Studio 2010.
They told me the problem will be solved in the final release.

Is there any way to get a trial or free version of Visual Studio, either Visual Studio 2008 or a previous version?
If so, where can I find it?
You can get Visual Studio Express for free - http://www.microsoft.com/express/
On the Visual Studio homepage, on the left, is a link:
2 . Get Visual Studio : Visual Studio 2008 Trial Version
Which gives you a 90 day trial edition of Visual Studio Professional.
Or a trial version of Team Suite is available here.
Obviously these links may change when VS2010 is released.
