In looking to make life a little easier for developers, Microsoft is streamlining its Visual Studio offerings, and detailing a new pricing structure.

This week, Microsoft simultaneously beefed up and streamlined its Visual Studio suite of software, by combining Visual Studio Premium and Visual Studio Ultimate into one single offering called Visual Studio Enterprise with Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN).

In addition to Visual Studio Community and Visual Studio Professional with MSDN, the Enterprise edition with MSDN rounds out the three primary Visual Studio 2015 offerings.

Features previously available online on the top-tier editions are also moving down the chain, such as CodeLens, which helps users find references and changes to code, linked bugs, work items, code reviews, and unit tests.
