I think I am right in saying that 2010 Professional did NOT have the profiler, and you needed Premium or Ultimate edition. Has this changed for 2012?
VS 2012 Pro includes the profiler.
These Visual Studio 2012 versions supports Profiling Visual Studio Ultimate, Visual Studio Premium, Visual Studio Professional

FxCopIntegrator-2.0.0
FxCopSetup 10.0
I am using above tools to integrate Fxcop with Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition and it is worked fine as expected. Same configuration is not working in Visual Studio 2012 professional edition.
Is there any tool/configuration/integrator available for FxCop integrating with Visual Studio 2012?

I have created my codedUI project using VS2010 Ultimate and build works fine when I am building from VS2010 Ultimate.
I am trying to build the same project using VS2010 Professional and when the build starts it complaints about missing assemblies one of the missing assemblies is "Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.CodedUITestFramework"
Is it possible to build CodedUI projects with VS2010 Professional?
The Visual Studio 2010 Professional version does not support the coded UI test, you might need to upgrade to the Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate or Microsoft Visual Studio Premium.
In new Versions of Visual Studio, Only Visual Studio Enterprise provide Coded UI Support and Visual Studio Professional & Visual Studio Community doesn't have support.

If so, how do i turn it on? I don't see it under Tools-> Options
If not, anywhere I can download it?
Here is the product matrix from the Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 site.
It shows that it is only available for the Ultimate edition.
Are you sure your coworker has it on Pro?
Intellitrace is not available in Microsoft Visual Studio Professional version, intellitrace is available in Visual Studio Ultimate edition only.
Yes, you can have Intellitrace in Visual Studio 2013 Professional, because there is a bug in Visual Studio licencing system. It happen in some circumstances.
I would like to make a template for F# lib + XNA 4.0 + Xbox360 for visual studio 2012.
All I have is Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition for Web.
When I try to install the Visual Studio 2012 SDK, it stops after reporting that it requires Visual Studio 2012. The log seems to indicate it's looking for the Professional edition.
I'm not interested in buying a professional license for hobby work, and I am a bit surprised Microsoft would want to prevent hobbyists from extending their product.
I do have a professional license for Visual Studio 2010, though. If there's a way to make extensions for 2012 using 2010, that would work for me.
You can use VS2010 to develop extension compatible with VS2012.
All you have to do is to manually change vsixmanifest to make it work with newer version:
<SupportedProducts>
<VisualStudio Version="11.0">
Note however that Visual Studio Express does not support extensions, so you won't be able to install it in VS2012 Express anyway.
