Advantages: Solid toolset, real productivity improvements, edit/continue debugging Disadvantages: No code profiling or source control, slightly suspect UK pricing
...product lifecycle from design through to testing. For home coders, there are also individual free versions of development environments for the main languages, a generous move by Microsoft if you don't need all the bells and whistles of the full blown Pro toolset.
Professional Toolset
It's probably best to say what major components you get with the pro version of Visual Studio 2005. You get VC++, C#, VB and VJ# along with appropriate forms editors complete with mobile support, code snippets, database tools and designers. You also get editor support for XML and XSLT, release versions of all the x64bit compilers (although for Itanium support you'll need to go for the Team System version), SQL Server Reporting Services as well as CrystalReports and the developer version of SQL Server 2005. All in all, a lot of software for your money...

Advantages: Integrated Design Interface based on the .NET framework Disadvantages: System Resource Needs
...# in a visual edition, ohhh the power, feel the power. The good use of C# enables the developer to get right to the heart of the machine and code from the ground up. visual basic removes most of the fun and restricts you to only accessing the machine at the software level, direct hardware access is possible in C# support which is sorely lacking in other languages. The package is also shipped with crystalreports, as yet i have never had any need or motivation to even touch crystalreports but i am confident that with the help system in VS.NET i will not be going in blind.
All of these systems are held together in a beautifully thought out integrated design environment, we have true debugging for visual basic that actually works as it should and the run command now builds the exe as in Visual C++ (a function i always liked).

Advantages: Improved performance, new features, tighter integration Disadvantages: Cost upgrading from earlier versions
...I recently upgraded my operating system on my Dell Inspiron 8100 (see earlier Op) from Windows ME to Windows XP Professional. This was necessary because on several occasions Windows ME crashed for no apparent reason and I was forced to do a complete hard disk format and reinstall all my software. Fortunately I had taken the precaution of backing up my most sensitive data onto and external Iomega 80Gb hard drive; however, I had no option but to re-install application software from the original CD disks. This took ages.
Cost of upgrading varies. Windows XP Professional is priced at about £160 (academic upgrade £80).
Windows XP Home edition costs about £80.
Windows XP upgrades are readily available online from retailers like Amazon or Microwarehouse. My copy was delivered next day after making the order at 5.00pm...

I have been using this product for one month now and must say, although being a bit sceptical to begin with; I am pleasantly surprised by the performance of the product.

Before I start this review I'm going to apologise for how long it is likely to be, but to properly review such a huge product as an operating system is going to take quite a lot more than a few paragraphs. To make it easier for you to find the... more
