Which version of VS 2005 should I upgrade to?

[Anil Gupte]

I am using Visual Studio 2003 Enterprise Edition. Now that VS 2008 is out in
beta, I figure 2005 is stable enough for us. Which version of Visual
Studio 2005 is the logical upgrade path for us?

Thanx,

Hello Anil,

I am using Visual Studio 2003 Enterprise Edition. Now that VS 2008 is
out in beta, I figure 2005 is stable enough for us. Which version
of Visual Studio 2005 is the logical upgrade path for us?

Most (but admitedly not all) impressions that I have heard suggest that 2008
is MORE stable than 2005.

I myself have already moved to 2008 and am very happy with it.

In either case the answer is Express if your budget is very tight and Professional
otherwise.

I have no impression of Team system other than it is way way out of my price
range

Thanx. I just don't use the fist version of anything by Microsoft.

Which should rule out VS2005 as it is the first version of .Net to target
CLR2.0 ;-)

Or is it that you don't use anything that hasn't had a service pack?

We've been using VS2008 since it was released, and find it to be more stable
than VS2008 as well.
