I am looking at bizspark but the page with the software seems outdated. I am wondering if anyone has a current list or can confirm if that is the current list.

Like it still say you get Vs 2008? How about 2010? What version of 2010? How many licenses?
We have BizSpark, and VS2010 Ultimate is available for download, just like Office 2010 (although there are limitations on the way you're allowed to use Office).
In a nutshell, BizSpark gives you free MSDN Premium subscriptions - only without support. The BizSpark FAQ also has some helpful information.

Since there exist plugin for Skype for Business that do much more than that.
How hard would that be to create similar plug-in for MS Team with only functionality would be taking the status from the Genesys and setting it up to the corresponding status in Ms Teams, so if someone is on the call everyone can see it on MS TEAMS and know he's not available.
Would someone with little experience in writing plug-ins could do it and where he could start? Maybe they already working on it? Any ideas?
Microsoft will always focus on customer’s feedback and experience, some new features would be added to the services based on customers' feedback in the future, we also recommend you to raise your UserVoice here:
My question is related to the recommended way (going forward) to talk to on-premises Exchange mail box and perform operations on it from an external application programmatically?
EWS APIs and the corresponding SDKs look promising based on a few articles such as this :
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdav_101/2018/06/19/about-using-ews-and-powershell/
but there is bit of confusion on whether it will continue to be supported in the future based on this:
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/exchange/2018/07/03/upcoming-changes-to-exchange-web-services-ews-api-for-office-365/
Although the above talks of just o365, the fact that EWS will no longer be invested in, raises the question if new applications for on-premises exchange should continue to use it.
PowerShell, remote PowerShell etc. also might work but it seems less suited for use/integration within an external application and more so for automating operations.
Could someone please throw some light on what is recommended way going forward to work with on-prem Exchange?
Try the Microsoft GraphAPI. Details https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer here. Sign in. Try the https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages sample. See more examples by clicking "Show More samples" on the left column after you login.
Is it The Way (tm)? I don't know but is very cool. I have some sample code I'm working with, nothing in a format to share, but look like the API covers a lot of territory. Some client-only rules look like they need some work to expose, maybe they'll get beefed up in later releases.
Depends on the type of Application you are trying to write, EWS is going to be around in Exchange 2019 so it will work just fine talking to say 2013, 16 and 19 OnPrem. There are advantages and disadvantages to using EWS vs. the new REST API's but it is application specific and changing fast. But again it depends entirely on the type of Application you are trying to write and what version of Exchange you need to support. And typically newer features that will appear in new OnPrem versions aren't back-ported into older versions. So a great new feature that will work in Office365 and Exchange 2019 may not work in 2016 and you may need to use some of the older legacy API's to achieve the same thing. Bottom line as of today if you are an ISV and need broad coverage support for versions of OnPrem Exchange expect to need to use both EWS and REST. If you are just creating apps for one organization that's going to be migrating to 2019 in the future you'll probably get away with just REST.
There doesn't appear to be much literature on the topic (to the point where I'm pretty sure you can't do it)
I see there is this TFS Integration platform (not maintained since March 2012) mentioned in this article http://nakedalm.com/one-team-project-collection-to-rule-them-allconsolidating-team-projects/ but that looks pretty specific for 2012.
Has anyone done this?
This is not a supported scenario. The TFS Integration Platform can move your data over, but it's not a very smooth experience.
I have seen at Team Foundation Service free package for 5 users.
Is this free forever or for limited period of time? I mean is this for trial period?
I assume you're referring to the pricing information on the site? That's not a trial pricing model they're referring to. That's the arrangement that will be in place once they start charging.
I can't speak for what Microsoft will do with their pricing plans in the future but I'd be very surprised if they took away free features. If anything I'd expect it to move the other way based on competitive pressures.
The latest pricing structure has been posted since this service has been officially launched. Check out their Visual Studio Online pricing page.
As Dave Chen said, Microsoft has made no promises as to what their pricing will be forever. At this point in time, the Visual Studio Online Basic remains free for up to five users. The tiers above Basic do not receive the free five user allotment. Also, at this point in time, MSDN subscribers can join any Visual Studio Online project for free and do not count against the five free users.
All of this is subject to change.
Microsoft have not announced the pricing model for Team Foundation Service yet.
Brian Harry's blog will probably see the announcment first.
Here is his last comment on the matter.
Where can I download the enterprise edition of Microsoft Solver Foundation? I am able to get the express edition online, but it has a limit on the number of variables and constraints. I want to solve large LPs using the enterprise edition.
Historically it was available as a purchase from Gurobi.
However the software is now defunct(*) and I no longer see it on their site. You can see how it used to look here.
You might try contacting them directly.
(*)In May 2012 last year, the Solver Foundation team wrote:
The current 3.1 release of MSF will be the last release as a standalone install. We are working hard on integrating Microsoft Solver Foundation into a larger analytics framework that will help users build both prescriptive and predictive analytics. We look forward to releasing this new product for your use as soon as we are able to do so. This new product will provide a migration path for current Solver Foundation users and partners.
if you have msdn subscription, then try standard edition first. also academic license is an option if eligible.
