      I hate it when they move around of their own account, or because I clicked in the wrong place...but I love the flexibility they offer....especially on dual monitor systems. Most of the issues could be dealt with bt providing a way to lock toolbars/control bars in place so that didn't happen accidentally. If they did it on the taskbar and in IE's toolbars, they can do it in Visual Studio. :rose: Anna :rose: Currently working mostly on: Visual Lint :cool: Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

        Now, wait a minute. What you're describing is what VS2005 is--a Yugo. I need to lower the speed limit signs to compensate! A Ferrari, it is not. It's more like a tank.

          VC6 makes me grimace...usually every time I try to drag one of tabs out of the Workspace View or Output Window and dock it elseware, or write two for-loops at the same scope using the same control variable...:doh: Anna :rose: Currently working mostly on: Visual Lint :cool: Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

            Have you tried SharpDevelop 2? I wasn't a big fan of their 1.x versions but it is pretty impressive now and also free. Al

            Well, do they have anything for web developers yet? The versions I have seen have nothing really in the line of developing ASP.NET sites. Rocky <>< Latest Post: SQL2005 Server Managemnet Studio timeouts! Blog: www.RockyMoore.com/TheCoder/[^]

                I still prefer Borland Delphi (Delphi 2006) for WinApps and such. If I am doing web apps or services, then it's C# and ASP.Net 2.0 for me at this time. I'll have to see if Borland catches up/passes them when their 2.0 version comes out. sigh...

                      Not that I know of but what I really like is that the UI is responsive (unlike the old one) and the entire download is < 10Mb! So that + the Visual Web Developer for ASP.Net and I'm set with pretty small footprint. Al

                        Unfortunately, borland has given up on its original set of users,the low budget developer and the hobbiests. They're charging over $400 for Delphi 2006. Obviously, Microsoft is trying to develop a new cadre of fans by giving away their express editions.

                          They've been dancing around it for a while, but they are officially making the Express Editions of Visual Studio 2005 free[^]. Not even the threat of USD49. :-D -------------- TTFN - Kent
