visual studio 2010 FTW!

[VJ-Jean-Luc]

Here's my latest gripe with the mighty MS.

Just installed their latest development system (visual studio 2010).

Didn't even get a real chance to test it as it buggered my system up completely -
- replaced ui elements so that the current ui wouldn't work and kept crashing
- turned off my user login so it went straight through to the desktop (without asking) - very bad practice
- removed all my sound system and spent the day chasing it till I knew what was wrong and had multiple installs and reboots

lots of nasty little things that it just shouldn't do.

Finally removed the crap, then luckily had a restore point a few days ago and restored and all is well now!

And this is the premiere development system, I can certanly see why everyone is deserting it for APPLE!

IF MS don't get their shit together, they wont have many third party developers left!!!

[:stalker:]

APPLE!

sucks, btw i didn't had ny problems with the vs2010 beta on a xp netbook.

that shit goes shiter and shiter, no spans in w7 and still use XP for lives, because it simply faster...

[Meierhans]

Removing span mode is really the joke of the year. Hey M$.. did you guys EVER use your own operating system...?
I heard there could be a nasty workaround with a modified DX dll, but still alpha. And there is still trippleheads.

so does that mean that vjo can't output to the second connected monitor in win7??

[Meierhans]

Sure it can, you just cant merge 2 screens into one anymore. (So it shows up as available resolution in Vjo).
In case you wanted to output 2 signals at the same time, maybe run GUI on a seperate GFX.

[VJ-Jean-Luc]

so (just to get my head around this one)... If I wanted vjo gui on monitor 1 and vjo output on monitor 2, win7 won't do it?

[Meierhans]

suuure yo can.

[Meierhans]

You just cant run both screens at once in fullscreen (like 2048 * 768).
