Are you calling my IDE old and busted? You people wound me! And after I upgraded to Visual Studio 2008 and everything...
I suppose that I should at least upgrade to 2010. If 2012 express is out, is there a good reason to not just use that? I guess there's probably still a lot of people running XP and Vista.
Aside from the 40 minute install time and no compatibility for XP + vista, nope. Source on compatibility. I also don't believe you can install individual visual studio parts now, and instead have to download the whole studio. (Or at least i did, i downloaded the VC++2012 and it plugged it in with basic and another.
) Not trying to force you into a decision or anything, but xp + vista still appears to make up ~50% of net users, so you might be cutting off a lot of potential people.
(Source. Not sure how much faith you want to put into the source, but it's up to date and seems plausible.)
