I think some people are trying Vista in unsupported hardware and then complaining about it

In general I agree with your comments. However, I have not gotten CodeRush to install properly with VS2005. (It does not show the Tools menu under the DevExpress pulldown). I am curious if you had to do anything extra to make the install work for this software.

I've been using RC1 as my primary development machine from the day I could get it.

And quite frankly I don't want to go back to xp anymore.

The strange thing is that my solutions actually build faster than on xp sp2

I am getting greate development performace as well on my home machince which is running RC1.

I am using VS2005, NUnit, and MySql.

I have had to make a few changes to security settings, and some of these have required my to temporarily turn of UAC to make them.

Performace has been very fast.

I am having trouble getting avg to work. I hope a patch is released for it soon.

John, Hmm, it just installed and worked for me.

All, yes I too am getting faster builds and perf than XP SP2.

Same here: I am getting faster builds that XP sp 2 and I hate coming back to work on XP sp2. In addition, Vista RC1 is faster than XP. Premptive multi-tasking has been improved. You can actually click on the Start Menu when your account logs in and you can do something. Go figure.

Sam, although I was not brave like you to upgrade, I did do a clean install and not had too many issues with the x32 bits - I think I would be preaching to the choir if I said to try and use the x64.

In my exprience I did find the new 5728 build having better support for drivers - though there were still some that were missing. (E.g. BT now works out of the box.)

Amit.

"Upgraded" to Windows Vista 5744 (RC2)

My experience of RC1 is a good one, despite some problems with Yahoo messenger. Therefore, I am not too bothered, as I have narrowed down my program list, to more or less Microsoft progs.
