The GUI parts of our Development Suite for ARM have been rebuilt using Microsoft's Visual Studio 2013. That's over 80 DLLs as well as the Embedded Development Studio executable itself and so it was not an insignificant task.
For the embedded developer, this brings two major benefits:
1. The simulator can be graphically extended using Microsoft's latest Visual Studio 2013, including the free Community edition
2. The Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 simulations can also be extended using state-of-the art Javascript (see jState)
Unforunately it does mean leaving behind operating systems prior to Windows XP - the minimum requirement for these latest editions of the Development Suite for ARM is Windows XP SP3.
