Can someone tell me why should I upgrade from VS 2008 to 2010 or 2012
-
I have been using Visual Studio 2008 for a long time, recently I made a project and I had (because the customer want to) to 2010, The fonts were terrible and I was a lot slower, (I have corei3 2 gb pc), can someone please tell me a reason to upgrade, please a good and logical reason. thanks in advance
That's a good question... I'm sort of on the same boat... been using VS2008 for a while and I like it, so I haven't had any big reason to want to switch. I've used VS6, 2003, 2005, and now 2008... and 2008 has been a lot better than the older ones...maybe that's a good enough reason to upgrade, the product has gotten a lot better over time.

Well, .NET 4 and 4.5 are generally smaller runtimes than earlier versions (depending on what profile you use), and they have bug fixes in them - and you can't target them from VS2008 (although you could run them with csc.exe if you really wanted to).

VS2010 is/was a pig (at least for C++ projects). VS2012 looks to be a lot more faster and converted our VS2008 project more easily.
Watched code never compiles.

I don't know about the features of VS 2008 as I have not worked on it. But Simple but Interesting Features of VS2010 and C# 4.0[^] can give you some reasons why to upgrade. :). And if you really want to explore, then go through Visual Studio 2010 Features [^].:thumbsup:

2012 is much faster at compiling large projects and I perfer the dark theme.

C++11, better editor, more responsive GUI and probably more, if these are things you care about, then upgrade.

Oh, can you do Auto-Parallelization and Auto-Vectorization in C# and VB too?

Parallel C#[^], not sure how far they've got though

So automated parallel is just available in C++, that sounds strange, I though C++ used the .NET library, no? Than it seems a little strange not to include the function in the higher languages or?

My i7 handles vs 2010 very well. But I only have 32gb of ram. Here on site, I have a i5 with 4gb and it seems well enough.

Only if you're doing C++/CLI, you can still do pure native C++.
I thought you only used pure C++ with driver development or other specific hardware stuff. Anyways I also though some of the .NET libraries came from Intels core? When do you really want to use pure C++?

Drivers/hardware/other low level stuff is one reason. Native code is also commonly used for graphical applications, e.g. DirectX/OpenGL. Or code that can be compiled and run on multiple platforms. There are plenty of reasons, the basic rule is "use the language that's right for the job".

I've never heard that, so I have no idea. But .Net libraries run on the CLR, which is written in a native language I would think.
