Now I have Visual Studio 6, Visual Studio 2003, 2005 and recently 2008 on the same machine. Is this just me or someone else has the same situation?
from 2003 onwards :) I ditched VS6 about a year ago when I no longer had to work on any VB6 support.

Everything but 2008. I am now using 2003 for the most part and sometime this year I will port my 500K+ lines to 2005 (well if it does not take a month like the port from vc6 to vs2003 did). One annoying hold back on this is the project files must be updated but still have the same extension making it more difficult to retain a period where both versions work. I use cvs and I guess I could branch the projects but I only want to branch the project files and keep the code the same otherwise it would be too much work for one person to handle... To me it is very frustrating that compilers are not backward compatible (gcc included) via a switch or at least that the Microsoft development environment could support older versions of their compilers.

I have 2003 and 2005 on one machine, and getting 2008 too, but I will put that on a different partition! (It will end up getting too complicated otherwise).

Ditched all VS versions in favor of this: http://flatassembler.net/[^] It's basically Notepad with an assembly-language compiler. :P My headaches are long gone... BTW, I'm writing an operating system now. :rolleyes:

Pah! Try Visual Studio 2005 plus Embedded Visual C++ 3.0, Embedded Visual C++ 4.0, Windows CE Platform Builder 4.2, Windows CE Platform Builder 5.0 and Windows CE 6.0 Platform Builder extension for VS2005.
I don't have the Platform Builders (well, actually I have PB 4.1 and 5.0 but only evaluations for shared source access) but do have Microsoft C 6.0 and Visual C++ 1.52c, in addition to eVC 3.0 and 4.0 and VS 6.0, 2003, 2005 and 2008. We still support some DOS handheld computers, although they're being retired by most customers in favour of CE devices because the hardware is no longer available. Some were already dead men walking due to components being withdrawn, the cost of respinning the boards for RoHS compliance did for the rest. (When I first read that last one I thought you meant the original Windows CE plugin for Visual Studio 6.0, but the colleague who used it in a previous job tells me that once you'd installed it, VS 6.0 didn't work for desktop development any more.) Plug: if you need a Symbol Series 3000 DOS app porting to CE, and you have the C source code, ask us about Quantum[^]. Works best if you used Symbol UK's Application Development Library, but base ADK (BiosXxx) calls are also supported. Price on application and inspection of source code, because we might need to implement some APIs that we haven't yet needed.

that is why I recently started pushing more virtualization, for these and other applications. It saves some of the headaches on the software side, but unfortunately created new ones for my hardware.

With millions of developers around the world, how could it even remotely be "just you"?
