Should I Upgrade from VS2005 to VS2008
-
We are currently developing using VS2005 without any major issues. However we are two months from starting our test phase. So it’s not a bad time to upgrade. My company has VS2008 (part of our developers support package). We don't currently need any advanced features in VS2008. Typically I would wait. Let the new software at least get to its first SP. However I have not heard any really negatives about VS2008. Its making me wonder if it might be solid release from MS. Is VS2008 as stable as VS2005? Your Opinion? :confused:

Why not just try the 90-day trial? That should give you plenty of time to evaluate it and see if there are any issues. Or else try one of the Express products. OTOH, if you're not planning to use any of the new stuff and you're not using, e.g., WPF, then there's not much point. Oh, I just spotted that your company already has 2008. In that case just get one or two developers to install it and play with it for a bit - or run it in a virtual machine.
