Re: Treo 700w memory usage

Hilton,

Yes you should feel safe. I've been using VS 2005 pretty much exclusively
since beta 2, so I think that should tell you something about how I like it
compared with VS 2003. Both versions of VS can coexist though. I've actually
found VS 2005 to be quicker on my hardware except for maybe loading Help.
There will always be updates, and certainly an update to VS 2005 is planned,
but I don't think you should wait for it. The current version is very solid.

I love the new emulators - much nicer, and the ability to connect to them
via Activesync. I love CF 2.0 - fast, solid, functional. I really love the
data tools in VS 2005 for working with SQL Mobile data. I can't think of a
single thing I like better about VS 2003 unless it's the ability to work
with old hardware, and I can't honestly say that I love old hardware. ;-) I
do have to support some occasionally though.

Hilton,

I'm hoping to download the emulator and try it there - I'm hoping it is
VS 2003 compatible (I noticed it only mentioned VS2005)

Looks like emulator requires 5.0 SDK, and 5.0 SDK requires VS2005.

Slightly OT: I've heard VS2005 is great, but has numerous bugs such as
slow text input and other things and a rumor of a large 'update' later
this year? Any truth in these rumors? Can I feel safe moving to VS2005?
I guess I will anyway, but help me remove any nervousness. Thanks! :)

Also, for those who have upgraded, would you have upgraded based solely on
its new features, or did you upgrade because of 5.0 and the new emulators
etc? [Note: your response could be a combination]

Thanks again for all the very valuable input from this group!

Hilton
