Hi Robert, Visual Studio 2005 is an awesome advancement, some really nice features like the Class Designer and huge boat load of new Web controls.
It is noticeably a little more sluggish than 2003 I find, but I guess it's because there is so much more going on, like Intellisense working everywhere. SQL Server 2005 is also a huge step up. > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Garcia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, May 27, 2006 3:57 PM > To: witango-talk@witango.com > Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: [OT] Mac OS question > > VS runs great on my macbook pro, under parallels, as fast as it does > if I boot into xp.
