The PTVS release is really an extended version of the tools in IronPython 2.7.  
It adds support for CPython including debugging, profiling, etc...  while still 
supporting IronPython as well.  We'll likely either replace the tools 
distributed w/ IronPython with this version (maybe minus things like HPC 
support) or we'll pull the IpyTools out of the distribution and encourage 
people to go for the separate download.  No changes will likely happen until 
IronPython 3.x though as 2.7 is now out the door and it'd be a pretty 
significant change.

For the time being you'll need to choose one or the other - you can always 
choose to not by either not installing the IpyTools w/ the IronPython install 
and install the PTVS or you can just stick w/ the existing IronPython tools.
