Hello All,
I've finally manage to upgrade my development machine from Windows XP to Windows Vista and of course this was not a normal operation !.
In fact I've spend a lot of time between handling the normal Windows programs to get it run on Vista, and the development software which are only my needs in this live :).
I'll start a blogging series about common problem I've faced and how to fix it , I'll concentrate mainly on the development software
- Visual Studio
- ASP.NET Web sites/ Web application and the integration with IIS 7.0
- SQL server 2000 and 2005.
- Common tips and tricks for developer who works with Vista as a primary operation system.
So , Wait for me ....
