Vista and VS.NET 2005

[VB Programmer]

Any word on how good Vista works with Visual Studio?

Do you know if Vista is now available for download to MSDN subscribers?

 

[Karl Seguin]

Vista has been available on MSDN for around 3 weeks now.

It works fine for me, others have reported some problems. Most seem ok once
they disable UAC (I still have it on and don't have any problems)

VS.NET 2005 SP1 for Vista is expected out in about a month or so...but like
I said, everything's working fine for me..

In addition to what Karl said, even if you get VS.NET 2005 working fine on
Vista, any solution you create will *not* be supported by Microsoft until
they release a planned patch some time near the end of Feb 2007 - to all
intents and purposes, if anything goes wrong you're on your own...

If you're happy enough with that, then go for it...

Do you know if Vista is now available for download to MSDN subscribers?

Yes, since 23 November...

Also, another consideration (since you've posted in an ASP.NET forum) is
that there is almost nothing in Vista which will add any significant benefit
to web development using Visual Studio.NET 2005... If, like me, that's how
you make your living, then there's no current business reason to upgrade
from WinXP Pro...
