Why new version everytime?
-
Does anybody guess why Microsoft releases new versions of Visual Studio (like VS2003, VS2005)? Why not create updates to the existing release? Or in other words, Java also does update the technology but does not call for revolutionery changes. Then why VS does it? (Or tell me if I am wrong)

I think you are comparing an IDE (Visual Studio) with a platform (Java). If you compare .Net platform and Java, the changes are not that revolutionary over version 1 and 2 of .Net. Thinking about IDE changes, the move from VS 6 to VS 2003 was a revolution. When Microsoft moved to .Net platform, that itself was a major move. That move did include massive changes in Visual Studio. It was a steep learning curve. But once you are over the hump of learning a new language (C#) or a new flavor of an old language (VB.Net), and stop missing good old C++, the differences between 2003 and 2005 are not that devastating. Can't disagree with other posters about $$$. Rahul

Okey! If money is the major matter then ... can't comment!
