Finally the long awaited Visual Studio 2005 is arriving. Based on my testing of the BETA2 Team Suite, this version of Visual Studio 2005 gave me a mixture of good and bad impression.
The good one is Microsoft has reduced further the programming coding needs, this help the programmer focus on their own solution logic than non-related bugs. They also build in few hundred of "templetes" (called Snippet) easy for user to developing software.
The bad side, ofcourse is the memory usage. By first load of the IDE (BETA2) it took my PC almost 400 MB of memory, it is huge since there has not load any code yet. The other bad thing happen is the memory "management" bugs. The memory usage is kept on increasing while you compile and re-compile the code. This make me feel lazy to testing further more on this BETA 2. I hope the released version will solve these problems.
