Jack, There is a difference between Visual Studio versions and .NET Framework versions. When you say ".NET 2005", I assume you're referring to Visual Studio 2005 and .NET Framework 2.0. I'm providing a couple links below for your reference:
.NET Framework System Requirements (starting with 2.0): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229070(VS.80).aspx Visual Studio System Requirements (starting with v2005) : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4c26cc39(VS.80).aspx At this point, I think there are some compatibility issues between Visual Studio 2005, .NET 2.0, and 64-bit Vista. Don't get too caught up about it being the Home Premium edition either. Below is a link comparing each edition of Windows Vista. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/compare-editions/ As for OS suggestions, it really depends how you plan on using your operating system during development and personal preferences. I suggest getting a few trial versions of prospective OS's and installing them on virtual machines and just playing around with them. I'm including a link to Microsoft Virtual PC below. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=04D26402-3199-48A3-AFA2-2DC0B40A73B6&displaylang=en Good luck! -Ivo On Sep 19, 4:48 am, jack me <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Andy Badera, > > I have searched on google.
