:( Due to circumstances beyond my control I'm stuck on vs 2010.
Tom
I know that feeling. Until last year we used VS2003 and FW1.1. We upgraded to VS2015 and FW4.6.1. To avoid problems as described in one of your answers I've made a new solution, imported every project separately and solved the reported problems one by one before importing the next project (and regularly made a backup :) ).

VS2017 just suxx, it's full of stupid bugs and it's for Win8+ only. Who needs that?? I use Win7 and it's more than enough for any app development. Even Android programs can be written using Win7! But not for Microsoft... they push that Spyindows and fail. Double fail when they count developers as a stupids who will follow 'em. Win7+VS2015 - that's latest stable point. Everything beyond just cr@pware from Monstersoft.

Could you clarify what you mean by "it's for Win8+ only?" MS lists Windows 7 under supported operating systems for VS 2017. Visual Studio 2017 System Requirements[^]

Ah, sorry! I keep in mind that people get VS2017 for UWP development also AND THIS requires Win8+. Simple desktop apps can be done even in VS2003 (and VS2017 don't help a lot here). In any case, I have few sure points to NOT use VS2017: 1. VS become more and more "online" (read "able to send 'telemetry' to MS servers") - that's not cool from any side of development. 20 years ago NOBODY fetch telemetry and software was way more quality than now. If telemetry doesn't help MS, they should remove it at all. 2. Looking at current bugs (I'm prof.developer), I count 'em as "stupid" and which cannot appear even in "beta" software. That means "level of mess" in VS design reached maximum that even Release Candidate cannot offer stable experience. Moreover: VS was written long time ago (that still contains legacy sht like "COM"), but it doesn't help to current version - it's still buggy like written from scratch on a previous week! (and written by beginners). Mature product like VS should grow with features, not jumping from bug to bug! MS spreads everywhere how "modular and extensible" VS is, but modular software should be more stable than we see now in VS. So finally I think better to ignore VS completely, until all telemetry will be removed and Win7 users got ability to create UWP programs (inc. Win Mobile).

Any idea if this is any different from the RC that got posted to MSDN 6 weeks ago? I'm not seeing anything on there with a newer date.
The one from 6 weeks ago was so quickly changed that it ceased to be an RC and became a beta, or was it a RCC (release candidate candidate, or a MARC--Maybe A Release Candidate)

Does it need a dedicated datacenter to run? :)
