When was MSTest officially introduced? Was it out there before Visual Studio 2005? Could MSTest be used with VS2002/2003?
On Wikipedia it was very short and said created in Visual Studio 2005 but didn't seem official. I tried googling/binging deeper and couldn't find an exact answer.
It came out with VS 2005. I don't believe it would work with pre VS 2005 boxes.
However, you probably could use NUnit....

I am upgrading a big solution from Visual Studio 2010 to Visual Studio 2012. All is done, but the code analysis module was changed in Visual Studio 2012 so I got thousands of CODE analysis errors (many CA1703, CA1709, etc.) What can I do?
It is very hard to manage every manually.
These are not errors. They are just warnings.
You can just turn off code analysis

or reconfigure Code Analysis

VS2012 is not so diffrent that you may think. It's just diffrently configured by default.
I am not sure there is a perfect answer for that but the code analysis in VS2012 is much better than in VS2010. There are many improvements in VS2012 and I believe there isn't any one shot solution to this problem. You may have to look into every error case by case.
Is there any place from where I can download the Visual Studio 2008 sample macros?
It turned out that the folder VSMacros80\Samples is empty on my station.
Thanks!
As far as I know, these aren't available online. (The closest thing I could find was the Visual Studio 2005 Automation Samples, but I don't think this will give you want you are looking for.)
Have you tried a "repair" install? That might add them again.
I have a feeling that the Visual Studio SDK is targeted heavily towards the version of Visual Studio it is created for, so I'm wondering how to do this in the best way possible. I currently only have Visual Studio 2008, but people using Visual Studio 2010 have begun wanting to use my tool as well, and I want to help them out. There were some using Visual Studio 2005 as well. Is there any way to do this without maintaining two (or three) different versions of the tool in different versions of Visual Studio?
This question is related, maybe it helps: Does Visual Studio 2010 have backward compatibility with visual studio 2008's addins?
In Visual Studio 2005/2008 you could have your documents automatically arrange by the most recently used. The registry setting doesn't work for Visual Studio 2010. Does anybody know how to enable this feature for 2010.
This was an undocumented feature in VS 2005/2008. I was a big fan of it as well, and was wondering what happened to it. It appears that they've axed the feature from VS 2010.

Are there any decent tutorials for setting up F# in Visual Studio 2005? Everything I have found points at VS2008.
ie: 'F# projects' under projects, etc.
Unfortunately the CTP release of F# doesn't support VS 2005. Two options:
Use 1.9.4.19, the most recent pre-CTP release
Download the free VS2008 shell and use that instead (I haven't tried it, but apparently it works)

That page also links to Don Syme's F# blog, which has a lot of useful stuff on working with F# in VS, including a demo of F# intellisense in VS2005.
