<p><pre><code>    MSBuild has a long history: It started out
    in 2005 as a part of the .NET Framework
    itself, and became an integral component
    of Visual Studio over time. Most recently,
    Microsoft’s build engine found a new home
    in the Tools for Software Engineers (TSE)
    team in Microsoft’s Cloud and Enterprise group.

What&#x27;s funny, though, is that the MSBuild team was originally part of Visual Studio Core, which also owned devenv.exe, the Visual Studio SDK, Projects and Solutions, the editor, and—perversely—Visual SourceSafe.
