Diver, I've got it, we're not using it at the moment.

I've only just managed to migrate everyone from VS6...

Wading through treacle dragging a pile of logs is a pretty accurate analogy.

Anyway, you download the express edition for free.
(Or get it plenty cheapness from my mate Bob Shawadiwadi).

I run Vista on my Vaio. No problems whatsoever.

However, there were a couple of quirks with the filing system. Software that "works" on XP had to be recompiled and a couple of "bugs" sorted. For that I'm particularly happy.

I now test all my software on Vista as well as XP.

VS2005, I love you!
