Windows Vista for Developers, Please

It's disappointing that versions of Visual Studio .NET pre VS2005 won't be supported on Windows Vista. I was looking forward to jumping on the new OS bandwagon. True, there's always Virtual PC for building VS2002-03 apps, but I find the virtual environment somewhat slow and cumbersome.

Wait! If Vista's built-in security is the obstacle (I get fed up with those incessant security warnings!) maybe Microsoft could introduce another Vista SKU - Windows Vista Developer Version. It could strip away the blocking security restrictions that make the OS safer for the consumer market and allow developer tools - old and new - to run freely.
