   Moving to VS 2008 Express from VS 2005 Express
  I recently got a new laptop that runs vista, so VS C++ 2005 express won't run on it properly, but 2008 seems to (as expected).So, if I want to do development on my laptop as well as my desktop, I'll need to use 2008 across the board, because assume that I won't be able to save a 2005 project/solution from 2008. Am I right about that?So, my question is should I just upgrade to 2008 for all my comps? Is there anything I should be looking at, anything that is worse, or a downside to upgrading to 2008 instead of sticking with 2005 (apart from not being able to develop on my laptop, of course)?   
  it would be best to upgrade to 2008, faster & more dependable :);  I would agree with Yourself (the user). But one downside to it is that there is more support for VC++ 2005 than 2008. So it's sort of easier to find out how to do something (on the web) in vc++ 2005. But all in all, i would suggest you to upgrade to vc 2008.
