All the devs in my shop (three of us) use Windows 2003 server and VS.Net
2003 as our development environments on various machines, and none of us
have experienced poor performance or freezes and hangs. My machine's pretty
amped-up (3.6GHZ hyperthreaded, 2GB memory) but one of us uses a laptop -I
don't happen to know what its got in it. All three of these are reasonably
recent ( < 6 months ) and clean installs, and two of us have huge disk
systems; the laptop's disk is pretty full but he doesn't complain about
performance, at least to us.
I know this doesn't help you with your performance issues, but it might be
useful to know that it can be done without problems in at least some
circumstances.

Hi,
This is a bit off topic but server related. My box, the CTO and chief
software architect (a very good one) insists on doing development using
Visual Studio .NET 2003 on a Win 2003 server. He does it on his laptop
( a pretty good one ) and on his workstation. The performance of VS.NET is
pretty crummy and freezes up at fairly random intervals.
Has anybody else run into this scenario with developers? Ever heard of
issues with this combo? I did some Googling on it but didn't come up with
much.
Maybe nobody does this.
Thoughts?
I appreciate any input.
Thanks,
Jerry
