Any VS2005 Beta 2 Issues Come Up Yet?

I haven't installed VS2005 B2 yet.
My main concern is installing VS2005 B2 on the XP Pro machine where VSN2003
already exists.
Am I asking for trouble? Your comments...

Agreed. I never intended it to turn into any kind of argument. Jim
stands by his correct statement that linux is not supported by Microsoft
in Virtual PC. I stand by my correct statement that linux works
perfectly fine in Virtual PC, but you won't get an official statement of
support from Microsoft. If we didn't believe in "community support"
(like the non-Microsoft website I referred to), what are we doing
reading and posting in newsgroups?

the rest of my miserable life.

I'm at the last step of uninstalling Whidbey I ran in VP2004 and can replace
with a Beta 2 instance of VS2005 Standard in the virtual machine - or - if
we want VS2005 Professional we have to install the Team System. I'd really
like to try it out which now changes the entire scope of my question but it
was helpful to learn and let others know your experience.

Any idea which page MSFT confirmed the side-by-side tests? If a blog there
may be another confirmation of other configurations.

I installed the Express Editions and all seems to be fine. Web apps work
just perfectly. MSFT did say that the secario of VS20003 and VS Express
were tested side by side with no issues. VS2002 is a different story.

No, the ASP.NET tab is not accessible via VS2005.
We'll only see the ASP.NET tab if some version of the DNF 2.0 has been
installed.

Once VS2005 is installed launch Administrative Tools > Internet
Information Services.
Review the Properties for *each* of your 1.1 applications and you will see
the ASP.NET tab where you can use a ListBox to reset the configuration for
that application back to DNF 1.1.

<%= Clinton Gallagher

Oh, OK. Thanks very much for that. However, my situation since installing
VS2005 is that the IIS instance appears to be inoperative. The server is
listed, but attempting to restart the service from IIS Manager gets an error
message indicating that the service could not be started. VS2005 test web
sites work, but on what, I have no idea.

Update. I uninstalled IIS, then reinstalled and remapped to VS 2003. Now
both VS 2003 and VS 2005 are able to do web apps, so my situation was unique
to the PC in question.
Looks, now, like VS 2003 and VS 2005 are getting along well, so disregard my
initial warning.

One other point need be made about why you were able to load and run an
application when IIS was apparently inoperative is likely due to the
presence of a web server that Microsoft has included with VS2005 products
itself. I don't know much about this.

Apparently in some circumstances, those using the Express products for
example no longer need IIS on the machine. This makes it possible for XP
Home to be used for what they are calling 'hobby' developers using the
Express products.

Good news!!

"Ballmer said Wednesday that Microsoft has listened to customers who've
demanded better support for non-Windows machines in Operations Manager
software, Microsoft's key management product. Also, he said, the company
will step up support for running Linux-based virtual machines in a service
pack update to its Virtual Server product later this year." (see the whole
story at
http://news.com.com/Microsofts+Ballm...21.html?tag=nl)

It seems that Mr. Ballmer has realized the value of a product like VMware.
Perhaps it was the overwhelming dominance of the virtual machine software
industry by VMWare (even among Windows devotees) that did it. Whatever did
it, I'm glad to see it on the server product. The workstation product users
are still SOL, but they don't really matter.......do they?

Now.....if we can just get good ol' Steve to help us with the Windows issues
(like VB.Net/Visual Basic upgrades and interoperabilit y) we'll be almost as
happy as if they'd cared all along.

Hi everybody, We are currently using VS2003 and now we are in the porcess of upgrading to the next Visual Studio version. Does somebody have a real life experience with VS2008?

I do not need VS2008 new features, I need to prove to my management that VS2008 is a stable product. TIA
