Somasegar, .NET 3.5 doesnt look nice. It would be nice to see it as 4.0 since lot's of new features are comming and pronouncing 3.5 is also not great.

Its strange that VS2005 bundles with .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0 were like extensions esp for Vista features and yet you're naming the next big release as .NET 3.5 ? .NET 3.0 should've been named .NET 2.5 and 3.5 as 3.0.

Why don't you delay VS 2008 RTM until Feb. so you can make sure it has less bugs? Either way I'm waiting for SP1 before I upgrade. I was burned by lowered productivity due to bugs in VS2005 RTM, and even with SP1 it still has issues. This product was rushed out the door. TFS has also proven to be unreliable, and I use it daily. Please put more focus on quality and do not rush these products out packed with features we do not need.

Longtime DotNetDev,

I'd very much appreciate if you'd share more detailed information on the struggles you've had with TFS (I'm the product unit manager for TFS).

I assure you we did not rush out TFS (in fact we held it for 3 months past the VS 2005 ship date precisely because it wasn't ready). I'm not aware of any significant reliability issues and would definitely want to understand the problems you've had.

SP1, on the other hand, is a different matter. The TFS SP1 was very problematic and I appologize profusely for it. I've written about it extensively on my blog http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry. I won't repeat all of the things that went wrong that lead to a bad experience for many customers installing it but rest assured we are aware of it and have been and continue to work hard to fix the problems of the past and prevent repeating them again. Among other things, we have changed the way we test the servicability of TFS by accelerating that work before the initial release of the product. We will be releasing public patches for TFS 2008 Beta 2 so that we can assure that we have the patching process working well before we ship the product.

Please email me at bharry@microsoft.com with more information about the problems you've had and I can either help you with them or make sure they have been addressed.

Thanks,

Brian

After the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Compiler, which is nearly

10 years old (and I use this today and every day !), my

biggest hope is that the Version 2008 supports again the

Win32-API in the MSDN-knowledge-base.

Good Luck !

Hi harry,

which Win32-API did you miss in any VC++ after 6.0? Do you really mean MSDN knowledge base or rather MSDN library?

Using the Win32-API is actually no matter of a specific VC++ compiler but only of the platform SDK you are using. When you have the Win32 headers and libs you certainly can use any VC++ version.

If you start using modern C++ techniques, especially templates, then you will see that VC6 is not the right tool anymore.
