    We do all of our development in Visual Studio, from simple desktop applications to full-scale web apps. We train our staff in its use, and purchase additional copies regularly.

    Bottom line: Software works great, but give yourself lots of time for installation if you want to do a complete security upgrade from Microsoft's website. Installation of Visual Studion 2008 Professional version from purchased disk went fine, I had no other versions on PC running Vista. However, upgrading to the latest service pack was an incredible time killer. Plan lots of time at least 3 hours, if you want to fully upgrade your software using Microsoft's latest security updates from their website. Also, the latest documentation that accompanies the service pack has to be downloaded separately.

    Surprisingly easy to install. All of my applications build with the express edition worked without any problems.

    This is as good as it gets. If you're into software developing and write applications for the Windows OS then this is a must.
    I'm taking it a star for not coming with an integrated control version system and a professional dotfuscator edition. Not because it's not labeled as such (this comes with dotfuscator community edition) but for this money I was expecting more.

    Either way, it makes the developer's life much easier with tools such as refractoring and intellisense and comes with a 64-bit (x64) compiler as well.

    I really don't want to repeat things that have already been said, except that this is excellent software. I recommend it highly. Very easy to use, no issues with install/every day use. I use it with Visual Basic.
