Huzzah...

Man - this is taking a huge age. You have to uninstall trhe 2003 beta, J# 1.1 redistributable, MSDN 2003 library and .Net 1.1 (Beta) framework first...
 
I wasn't suprised but I think that the install program should have either (a) listed all the things that needed uninstalling first or (b) had the option to do the uninstall itself.
 
think I asked this before.....but have been asleep a lot since...

I'm on VS Pro have been since January. Should I be considering a move to 2003 or leave it for now?


no worries.....just read the other posts, @ $29 hell why not!!:D

By all means get the upgrade - they install side-by-side anyway.
Main gains are in the compact framework world, but there's a bit of new VB.Net syntax as well.

Click to expand...

28 days? I wish mine came in 28 days... I placed my order on May 2!. The closest shipping date in June 14 as i was notified, but this doesnt mean that it wont be shipped later...
 
A co worker of mine did some experiencing with .NET 2003 and came to the conclusion that not much is gained.

The app won't start up faster.
The IDE won't start up faster.
On the fly coding while debugging is not contained in the new version.

What's the benefit then ?
 
The framework as a whole has much less bugs, and so does the IDE.

VS.NET 2003 and .NET 1.1 are primarily a bugfix release, hence the low price (covering shipping and media).
 
Whoooooohooo VS 2003 is here already!!

Now that was quick.....Time to play :) :) :)
