Hi Dan,
> Are others using VISTA for development machines?
When Vista first came out I bought myself a real nice high-end Dell
desktop to run it, and did nothing but struggle with the stupid thing
for months.
~ Visual Studio 2003 wouldn't install on it.
~ I had to wait weeks for a patch to install Visual Studio 2005, same
with SQL 2005.
~ None of my corporate clients are using IIS 7.
~ The networking stack was a dog.
~ My high-end video card drivers kept crashing.
~ Lots of other software and driver incompatibilities.
Eventually I just repaved the hard drive and put XP on it, which runs
flawlessly.
Personally I consider Vista another Windows ME disaster, and although
things have apparently gotten better with Vista lately, I'm just
skipping this version altogether.
Mind you of course, I just got myself a shiny new MacBook Pro 17" a
couple weeks ago (high-res, the full kit, etc...) and now do most of
my development in a Windows 2003 Server virtual machine. Nice :-)
Scott,
