 excellent service September 1, 2008
they really made a good effort. I needed the software urgently and they respond immediately and I was able to have it on time.
Thanks.
Excellent experience with this tool November 27, 2007
Used this version for a 150,000 line code base of desktop applications. Very very happy with it. Of course, there are many "wish it did X" items, but it is overall I am very pleased. After SP1, almost never have IDE crashes or other non-user code problems.
Still wondering why anyone would buy the Pro edition vise this (Std) edition for $350 more..
A Development Standard Tool September 17, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Any serious or amature developer should be required to use and know Microsoft Visual Studio Standard 2005. I know there are a lot of super-geeks out there who love to hate on Microsoft and prefer to stick to "real" or open source code that isn't dominated by the MS Juggernaught.
Those feelings aside- the reality of the world is that most companies use Microsoft software and server implementations in real world business, and Microsoft does provide the tools to get that work done. If you are at all interested in .NET, J#, C++, or ASP; this tool is the way to go. I was also happily surprised to learn that Visual Studio also can help code other documents like XHTML, XML, HTML, and CSS, which is really nice when you have to pay this much for the product.
Seriously though, if you are buying this for yourself, buy the Standard edition, let whoever you work for buy you the professional edition.

Awesome IDE. I appreciate using it daily. Beats using Xemacs in my real job, hands down.
 Decent Product, Steep Learning Curve June 7, 2007
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
This product was good, but not great. It's a bit sluggish at times, even running with plenty of available resources (e.g. when it's the only thing running on a box with a gig of ram and a decent processor). It also has a fairly steep learning curve. Once you know how to do things it's great, but when you don't you stumble a lot. A lot of the features, while powerful, aren't very intuitive. My primary IDE before this was Eclipse, so I was already accustomed to another IDE that handles things differently a lot of the time. Some things MVS did better; some things Eclipse did better. In the end, as I've said before, it's a good product, but not great. A little rough around the edges. When it boils down to it if your development environment is MS, this is probably the product for you.
