Win7, VS 2010
My last post asked about development on Win7 and Vista. I still have tons of complaints about Vista, but I have been developing at home using Win7 exclusively for 3 months now (mainly ASP.NET) and I can’t really complain much anymore. The VS 2008 development of web sites on Win7 is about as painless as it can get. I modified my shortcut for VS to launch as admin, and everything just flows.
I just got the VS 2010 Beta down and I must say, it is quite pretty. I like the new look and feel quite a lot. I am looking forward to putting it through its paces, but I am afraid that most of the really cool new stuff (testing enhancements and such) will have to wait until I get to use it at work. At home, I should probably try the Professional Edition rather than the Ultimate, but I just love the gadgets. I really like the fact that they made Architecture a first class citizen (it has it’s own top level menu structure).
