Standard worth it?
-
Just curious. I only want the C++ version of .NET since I'm buying it for my personal use I can't afford one of the MSDN subscription versions. However, I would like to know if the Standard version I see in my local office store is worth it? Or, should I bite the bullet and at least get the Professional version which from my understanding comes with VB, VC, and C#? I see the only problem with the standard version is the fact that it does not come with the optimizing compiler, is this a big performance hit? Also is intellisense more up to date? I hated the old version it would sometimes work and it would sometimes not and sometimes I'm deleting NCB files :( Also does intellisense only support native VC headers? Can it support 3rd party libs? Just some thoughts and would appreciated anyone's take so I can make an informed decision and either go with PRO or STANDARD. Oh just thought of something does Standard have the same limitation that the old learning edition have? Where you were unable to distribute the executable for either work or commercially? That would definetly move me to the PRO version...but money is hard to come by when your in the states these days :( and yes i'm still paying off credit cards so i would have to save up :( TIA HomeNuke ---- "Nuke'd Your Home, Yet?"

I probably would use the rc2 until the .NET is secured. Right now companies and coders are "looking in to .NET" but to implement it to the daily business is gone take some while..? Until that you can play around with the rc2 and be a master :) /Jarek "Imagination is more important than knowledge, for knowledge is limited while imagination embraces the entire world." -Albert Einstein
