No problems here. I would still recommend reading the readme to make sure there's no last-minute known issues :) Mark

Will this install on W2K? Or is the IT department going to have to finally install XP? don't ask DR

The .net 3.5 stuff is XP/Vista only, so I'd be surprised if the dev environment would install.

But if your target is only .Net 2.0 capable it would still be nice to use some of the Class Diagramming tools for C++ that are (allegedly) in VS2008 DR -- modified at 16:08 Tuesday 20th November, 2007 BTW can someone verify that the class tools work on unmanaged C++?

agreed. OTOH unless the MS dev team managed to resist the urge to use any .net3.5 in the UI, or even just in the installer :rolleyes:, you'd still need XP to to the development. I might be wrong, but I wouldn't hold my breath on them not doing so.

They appear to work on unmanaged C++ just fine, although they seem a bitvery doggy when dealing with large classes. Takes quite a while to produce the initial diagram, and you won't be doing much else while waiting.

Just starting to use it today, no obvious problems I can see so far. I have had both VS2008 and Vs2005 loaded at the same time, and they seem to co-exist quite well. I had Beta2 on this machine also for a while and it didn't cause any serious issues.

Virtualisation ... I now have a separate VM for each of old VS6, VS2003,VS2005 and coming soon VS2008. Problems I have seen in the past with multi install on the same box have not been so much with the IDE etc itself but with things like the various versions of help etc getting broken by the newer (or older) version.

The solution and project files will be converted. VS2005 will not open the converted solution.

Same kind of boat you are in. To solve that I went with Win2003 since IT had already approved that for use; I did have to get my desktop designated as a server but that was easier then getting the PC people to do an XP approval and install.
That's outrageous! The IT department should be there to serve you, not you them. Thanks to those who have posted their experiences, by the way. I might just risk my precious, STABLE, VS 2005 installation and have a go with VS 2008.

Works great in our world, too. One thing you'll need to be careful of, though: the 2.0 red bits will show up in 2005 intellisense, so you'll want to use this blog post[^] to get an FXCop rule (works with the one built in to VS if you have Team Edition also works with the stand-alone FXCop if you don't) that will flag all the red bits.

That's a nice dream, perhaps, someday, it will be a reality. Actually, you see, we are here to make money for IT so they can sit in their little server room, playing music, games and talking to their friends and side job clients through IM and their cell phones. I better send this quick before the cut off my internet access....
