I have asked someone from The Foundry about this at FMX 2012, and the answer 
was “we are not allowed to provide Visual Studio as a service
because Shitcrosoft and licenses and bla, and it’s something we will have to 
maintain, and this and that” - so in other words “no and we won't”.

But the problem was on the table already and would be nice if there are some 
motions in that direction, since (my deep IMO) in the multiplatform-multiversion
situation of today the ABI dependencies and library dependencies are becoming a 
drag. I.e. building and maintaining a Nuke plugin with all the older 
infrastructure
to support it (without having a readymade Vagrant image available to do the 
builds within of, for all OSes) is way more hassle and butthurt than actually 
writing the
said plugin and fixing it’s bugs.
