Hunting Godzilla in .NET...

VS2005 and Longhorn SDK?

I've seen all of the talk today about VS2005 now available on MSDN, but I am wondering how well this will work with Longhorn and the Longhorn SDK?

Should I go to the trouble of uninstalling the Longhorn SDK and then installing the VS2005 bits?

At this point I am thinking, probably not.  I doubt there is much to gain there for Longhorn development.  Am I right?

The CTP is a completely different build of .Net 2.0 than the one that shipped with Longhorn. It probably won't work with the .Net components in Longhorn ;)

Chris Sells has a very definitive answer:

(Do NOT install VS2005 CTP on Longhorn)

Nice WinXP skin Josh :D

Yeah I saw that, of course, you know when someone tells you NOT to do something...

Thanks - I spent way too much time on it ;)

But I know what you mean. I'm sure someone will go through the grunt work of changing config files/registry settings to "trick" the CTP into installing on Longhorn.
