i am changing my hardware which currently runs Win XP and i am wondering if i should also upgrade my OS to vista. so my question is, what are the most common issues/advantages you find while developing in VS2008 on Vista. with out taking into consideration WPF. should i keep XP where i have no Problems? or what version of vista best fit developer needs?
I used both Vista and XP before as a developer machine.
But Windows Server 2008 is the smoothest of them all. Super stable, pretty as Vista and fast as XP. And you can install products that need server (BitTalk, SQL Server Standard, Sharepoint,…)
Be sure to check out Convert your Windows Server 2008 to a Workstation! web page for tips how to configure Server 2008 to feel and behave more as a desktop machine. There is even a tool called Windows Server 2008 Workstation Converter.
Drivers should be a problem, since it shares kernel with Vista and you can use those. I have use 32 bit ones and 64 bit ones with any hiccups.
Of course, VS2008 runs without problems.
