    I can provide 'business reasons'

    Microsoft's entire development has been adaptive to customer's needs, developing programming resources is one of their core competencies. Working with archaic technology while our customers and competition uses the latest and greatest technologies to their advantage is where we have suffered from reactive rather than proactive measures. by upgrading to the latest the company gains the advantage of having a proactive mindset for adaptive client-based development. It is truly a win-win scenario as the development using modern tools give our customers the advantage of modern power and technology while providing cheaper use of man-power resources to our own company. Truly the bottom-line effect of latest technology should go straight to the top-of-the-house as an advantage of increased efficiency and adaptive technologies in a client-based focus, saving money and gaining power is something that shows respect to the core competency of our company. We would be moving ahead rather than attempting to nail jello to the tree by using older technology in a modern world. Surely this should be obvious now how we can move-ahead into the new century with advantages of new technology saving money for our bottom line! yes, there are about 5 bingos there.

      worse... its not on the approved list because you have to approve all executables before they are loaded on a machine, and VS produces unapproved execuatables. :rolleyes:

        Have you been using it on Windows Vista? If not then you should give it a try. Vista is very smart - after VS2008 crashes it knows how to restart it. :P

            You need to correct your grammar. It should be: "VS 2003 is teh suck"

              Careful, by using that phrase you're dating yourself there. Keep it up and someone'll be filing a Change Request on your software because it describes rotary aircraft as autogyros not helicopters. :laugh:

                  that is user optional. they can call it a gump if they so choose. :) Some of the pilots I work with are retired Vietnam pilots and their commanding officers are usually older still.

                    So you basically can't have any compiler? How the $#@! do programmers in the military create anything? :confused:

                      security already informed me a long time ago, if he had his way, I would produce nothing, say nothing, sell nothing, talk to no one, etc. That would be the safest way.... I didn't even comment, you can't say anything to that kind of logic.
