A couple of nits:

We don't actually know the name of the next VS release, although we know
`Visual Studio "14" will most likely be available sometime in 2015, with a
more complete preview release and final naming available later this year.`

Also, the roadmap published at the bottom of
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/somasegar/archive/2014/05/28/first-preview-of-visual-studio-quot-14-quot-available-now.aspx
is just their current best guess. For example, "inline namespaces" was off
in the distant future, but when the LWG started using inline namespaces in
the TSes, Microsoft implemented them right away.
