Rant VS2003
-
Ok, I managed to get VS2003 with it's vaunted service pack 1 up and running of Vista RTM 32bit. Everything looked good as I was compiling, running, and debugging some code. Then I wanted to find a note I had made in my code so I decided to use the 'Find In Files' feature....... The whole IDE crashed. For crying out loud. I still don't comprehend the MS decision to not support a product that is still in their official support cycle. Off to bed for me now, maybe it will magically work tomorrow.

You can use it under XP (which is also still within their official support cycle). :) It looks like developers are going to be forced to run dual-boot systems (or two physically separate systems) if they need to support Vista and "legacy" OS's.

Not that it helps here but I think that Find in Files in both VS 2003 and 2005 is not that well implemented anyway. I often drop out to TextPad to do it. Still, strange that it crashes. Does it work OK in VS 2005 or do you not have that?

My answer would be: use desktop search for this ;P The search in files option drops my VS2005 dead too, so I browsed to the folder where the source is sitting and used the searchbox in top-right corner of the window.

I just rebuilt my laptop with Vista RTM and I was going through the VC8 options, changing stuff to how I like it. After a few minutes of clicking (and comparing stuff with VC6 so they both look the same), I clicked OK and..... nothing. I got the SPINNY CURSOR OF DOOM. :sigh: (I wonder if MS meant to make that cursor like the Mac's Beachball Of Death.)
