I am all Vista’d Up
May 2nd, 2007I finally took the jump. I have been running Vista inside of Virtual PC 2007 for short periods just to try out various features, such as IIS7. Since Visual Studio 2005 SP1 for Vista was released I have been tempted to make the jump and I finally did.
I am still just running it inside of Virtual PC since I just plan to use it for development. It performs quite well despite living in a VPC and my Inspiron is only a single core processor. Initially the sound device was not recognized but once I installed the VPC Additions the sound automatically started to work. My main concern was how well TortoiseSVN would integrate with Vista. I have not had a single problem with it. I believe I waited long enough for the early adopters to work out the kinks.
Since I mainly use this environment to run Visual Studio I am sure I will not have any problems. And if I choose to move back to WinXP it is only a matter of firing up my other environment which is now sitting in cold storage.
