MSBuild has a long history: It started out
in 2005 as a part of the .NET Framework
itself, and became an integral component
of Visual Studio over time. Most recently,
Microsoft’s build engine found a new home
in the Tools for Software Engineers (TSE)
team in Microsoft’s Cloud and Enterprise group.
What's funny, though, is that the MSBuild team was originally part of Visual Studio Core, which also owned devenv.exe, the Visual Studio SDK, Projects and Solutions, the editor, and—perversely—Visual SourceSafe.
