I’m in the process of doing some research around .NET AJAX enabled development frameworks and I happended to stumble upon ths gem of an article regarding the apparent LACK of compatibility between Visual Studio and Vista… You have GOT to be kidding me!?!?! Right? Microsoft is one of the largest software development outfits in the world and they can’t get their shit together enough that their primary development platform runs smoothly on their flagship operating system? I’m trying hard not to be a Microsoft basher, I really am… but seriously?

Somewhat late comment about the post, Visual Studio (VS)does run on Vista. There was some confusion among the developer community (Including myself). Since VS was released way back in 2005 the compatibility issues have now been resolved with VS SP1. More info:

I agree, the rumors of incompatibility between the two products were greatly over exaggerated. I’ve been running Vista Enterprise with VS 2005 for a month or so now and, while I don’t do any heavy duty VS development I certainly haven’t experienced any problems. Now iTunes on the other hand… oh my!
