Unfortunately VS2008 is a dog, even on fast machines, IMO. Worse than 2005 which was worse than 2003. I really wish they would improve the performance for once. If the new one is changing a lot, it is probably going to be an even bigger dog -----Original Message----- >From: Anna-Jayne Metcalfe <[email protected]> >Sent: Jul 10, 2009 9:33 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: RE: [OT] Speed > >Hi Mike, > >> Is Windows 7 going to be faster than XP?
