I want to install Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 and I see several versions – seems they’ve gone a little nuts with the versions this time around so there’s “Professional”, “Premium” and “Ultimate”.
When it comes to Visual Studio 2008 we went with the Professional edition. I’m not privy to the reasoning but it serves our needs.
On the one hand I figure I should evaluate the Professional edition of Visual Studio 2010 since there’s a good chance that’s what I’ll be using when the thing ships next year. On the other hand, I wonder if I should evaluate the Ultimate version so I can figure out what if any features it has which I could use.
When evaluating Visual Studio 2010, should you install the Ultimate version, or the version you think your company is most likely to purchase?
If Ultimate has features that you might like, and you stand a chance of up-selling to it, and you don’t have bandwidth constraints go for it.
Myself I’m currently d/l Professional, as I fail all the above tests.
