It sense no make.

VS2010 was faster at compiling C++ than the previous versions, and although I never did a comparison it supposedly produced faster code too.

Yikes, VC++ 6. I remember when we jumped from that to 2k5 on a massive codebase.

Just something to check...
VS2010 was faster at compiling C++ than the previous versions, and although I never did a comparison it supposedly produced faster code too. Unfortunately they rewrote intellisense and bollocksed it up completely, and didn't bother implementing it at all for C++/CLI, which to be honest was probably a blessing as it meant a lot less random lock ups.
What I'm currently working on has to build in VC6 . Fortunately I've cobbled together a debug build in VS2005, so it's not too hideous to work on, but I have to live with it asserting and various bits of the app not working correctly as a result. Trying to use anything newer results in too many issues with dependent libraries that I have no way of rebuilding.

Originally posted by AtW View PostYes, I am using it on Win 7 64 bit.
Have not tried C++, but for C# they are actually quicker than VS 2008 to build things and to debug, so well worth upgrading.
Intellisense has improved compared to VS 2008, overall it's a very good result - I just wish they invested their resources into something other than Metro tulip.

His name was Sinofsky.
He got fired for being such a mongo.
Few months before Win 8 release I've posted a few comments in his blog that I can't wait for Win 8 because he'd get fired quickly after, they never made post moderation but VS 2012 team's blog was more open minded about it

I've been using VS2005. It's great: everything is so fast, it doesn't randomly lock up in the middle of typing, and intellisense actually provides useful information rather than freezing the machine for 30 seconds and still not finding the definition.

Skipped VS 2010 completely.
