  how about F#.. same carpet?

  Hi, are there any significant changes between the RTM-versions of VS2013 and TFS2013 being available on MSDN since October and the currently released ones.

  The ISO's have slightly different names and the hashes differ as well.

• 

  @wandreas:Yes. An update was made to the RTM to fix a few issues and remove the IE10 dependency. Check out these posts from Buck Hodges, Updated Team Foundation Server 2013 download addressing web and installation path issues and Visual Studio and Team Explorer 2013 no longer require IE 10 for installation

  Hi Greg,

  thanks a lot for the info.

  Is there an AZURE SQL Server/SharePoint account provided for testing?
  If so, is that available for any VS 2013 product or only for the MSDN subscribers?

  @john:Can you please elaborate on what you're looking for?

  I guess what I want is a sandbox that has MS SQL Server and SharePoint (and of course VS) such that I can do all the dev/tests online under the same (free) account--a full "proof of concept" project. For testing, a production class backend would be very helpful I think.
  
  In the same vein, is there a developer's version of Sharepoint?

  John, it sounds like you want an MSDN Subscription. This isn't free but it includes dev/test licenses for almost everything Microsoft makes, includes Visual Studio, and even includes hours for dev/test resources in Windows Azure.
