VS Upgrade ?

Does anyone know if I will be able to upgrade from Visual Studio Pro
2003 to
2008 and will VS 2008 run OK on Windows XP Home SP2?

Regards,
Jeff

It's not an upgrade - it's a fresh installation, in the technical
sense. In the commercial sense, I don't know if there are upgrade
packages available.
and will VS 2008 run OK on Windows XP Home SP2?
As far as I'm aware, yes.

If you are refering to upgrade cost, I have no idea.

VS 2008 Beta 2 runs fine on XP for me.

Have many of you upgraded to VS 2003? We have been using Visual Studio 2002, and are somewhat satisfied, except for the following areas: Speed - VS2002 apps are dead dog slow to start up, and slow the first time a form loads. Has this been addressed? We have been all through the "fixes" that supposedly speed up things in 2002, but they do not work, and are hoping 2003 is better.

Hi I am in the process of learning javascript and was wondering how often the web professionals update I.E & N.N? I mean do you religiously wait for the next upgrade and download it ASAP when available or do you upgrade only between main version and don't worry about minor updates? I currently have I.E 6.0.2600 & N.N 6.2.3 Latest I.E. is 6.0 (SP1) Latest N.N. is 7.1

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to determine if I have fixed an upgrade warning. If I delete the green text then the upgrade warning goes away. However, I would expect it to come back after I rebuild if I haven't changed any of the code. Can anyone clarify what actions to take with the upgrade warnings? Thanks

Our company just upgraded to VS 2005 (and by the way, I love it!) I was able to migrate the code for our product from VS2003 to VS2005 with only a few snags, and it's working great now. However we are trying to come up with a non-intrusive way to allow our fairly large number of clients to be able to upgrade to the new .NET 2.0 version of our product. We have our own auto-upgrade code inside our product (it downloads updated dll's from...
