Hi there! Yeah, that would be rather sucky. But for what it's worth, the Redgate tools we're integrating into Visual Studio aren't time-limited trial editions - they're the real deal. We know there are raving fans of ReadyRoll in particular, because of the way it integrates the database into the whole DevOps workflow. So we struck an agreement with Redgate to partner on integrating these capabilities more deeply into Visual Studio. These tools are not available outside of Visual Studio outside of the paid Redgate product. While it's an optional feature that can be easily added or removed, we do take your feedback onboard: we don't want this to feel like an ad or trialware. We're certainly sensitive to that, and we'll keep working with Redgate to tune the user interface accordingly. Thanks for the feedback, Tim Sneath | Visual Studio Team
