Following a naming convention similar to Windows, Microsoft has released the first Insider build for Visual Studio 2026.

Microsoft today announced the first preview version of Visual Studio 2026, which is available from a new Insiders channel.

New Vision support with GitHub Copilot in the latest Visual Studio Code Insiders build takes a user-supplied mockup image and creates a web page from it in seconds, handling all the HTML and CSS.

Microsoft's Visual Studio Code, a free, simple code editor for Windows, Mac and Linux, has become the most popular open source project on GitHub. It's now used by 8.5 million developers each month.
