Laptops are like phones (and women, come to think of it). There's always a better one available in less than six months. You want to upgrade it in less than six months.

Nice :) I've got win 8 on the other drive (actually a boot to .vhd), but I ain't got no multi-touch on my Dell XPS 17 (not sure I'd want to be cleaning that many finger prints of that size screen ;) ). I do like having multiple SSD's : no need for external drives for VM's. |-Original Mess

Lol. To be fair: I have a standard Win7 on it, so maintenance is the same as other Win7 machines. For devs I’d say that resolution usually is important, and the onboard graphics work just fine for VS.NET etc. If you want to play games, then you need engage the ATI GPU. To save 2kg in weight, I

There is a reason why I memorized most of the keyboard shortcuts. So that I don't have to learn new icons on each release. While I'm quite happy with monochrome icons, please make them more meaningful. The comment/uncomment icon is a classic example of icons that don't make sense. Sent from my

I’m pretty sure you don’t want designers working on fixing that… ☺ I filed a couple of bugs around the perf issues I was seeing which they fixed last year. I haven’t done any measurements, but it’s good enough that I don’t notice them anymore. What kind of files are you opening? Are they opened

Greg - Perhaps the VS Team should recruit Don Watson for a Microsoft sabbatical. Inappropriate use of 'Impact' is not confined to Microspeak or tech-speak. (I assume that you have read Watson's several books about weaselwords, since you used the term) But I don't have a remedy for Monty Ha

RE: New look of Visual Studio, what are your thoughts?

Stephen - I thought I was the only neo-luddite that did things like that . But round-tripping of projects - and other "tech" things - surely must be given more promotion than the UX / UI nonsense in that blog post, which is going to suck the oxygen from the real advancements in a new version.
