I second the one about performance. I have a 4 Core Machine (8 with HT) with 6GB memory. Since I started using VS2010, I feel kidnapped by Microsoft. The Intellisense is extremely slow for larger projects. VS is an editor, but sometimes it feels like a CAD application, it commonly uses 700-800Mb, and it is locks up now and then. Reloading a solution with 30-some projects takes forever... So its not really a huge leap forward from VS2008, which feels like a Ferrari in comparison.
Seems that they have merged the Word team with the VS2010 development team... VS2010, is more like Microsoft Word, but with a compiler. For day to day C++ development (not using .NET), its a pain...waiting for the circle most of the time. But the fonts are nicer :-) The one and only thing that really sticks out as a positive improvement is the performance profiler. Thats really really nice. Although it only works for 32bit apps :-( /A On Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 6:29 PM, Paul Sherman <[email protected]> wrote: > Chris, > > I have not, as of yet, gotten around to building OSG with VS2010SP1, but in > general I would say that if you are using VS2010, get the service pack.
