Vista and VS 2003

Mike P

I've heard rumours that VS 2003 is not supported by Vista, is this
correct? I have just purchased a new laptop with Vista OS, does this
mean I cannot work on any of my VS 2003 projects on it?

That is apparently the case. You should expect some issues, but there are
published workarounds for them.

You could run a virtual machine with your 2003 instance in it.
