[enlightened]

Consensys and Microsoft have announced that the Ethereum contract programming language Solidity will be available in Microsoft’s Visual Studio integrated development environment. ConsenSys and Microsoft collaborated on this integration to enable developers to rapidly build smart contract-based applications for the public Ethereum blockchain, as well as private and consortium blockchain deployments based on Ethereum. This integration is being revealed at //Build, Microsoft’s annual developer conference, in San Francisco on March 30th; Vitalik Buterin, Consensys CEO Joseph Lubin and Consensys Enterprise director Andrew Keys will be present.

It means people can develop the smart contracts system using visual studio directly. They can create project/solutions easily.

Obviously. But in my opinion it means more than that. It means there is general effort to make development for Ethereum more attractive and that there is strong support from Microsoft. Generally a good sign I think.
