Hi , What are the major releases of Visual Studio ? As I know , Visual Studio .NET 2002 was a *very* major release , comparing to its predecessors . VS.NET 2003 is a "small" release comparing to VS.NET 2002 - right ? VS 2005 is a major release , comparing to VS 2003 - right ? And what about VS 2008 ("Orcas") ? Is this a major release , comparing to VS 2005 , or "small release" ? Thanks in advance , Lior . :) |

The is not predecessors to Visual Studio.NET2002( originally called Visual Studio.NET, and changed to Visual Studio.NET2002 after Visual Studio.NET2003 was released). Since VS2005, the ".NET" was dropped from the product's name. IMO, all are major release, because VS2002,2003 and 2005 each only works with its specific target .NET framework version. Until .NET2.0 (VS2005), MS made it clear the .NET versions are independent to each other, and can co-exist peacefully (hence all are major releases), although if you have only later version of .NET installed, apps written for previous versions would most likely run without issues. Things get very messy now since .NET3.0/VS2008 were out. VS2008 could be used to target .NET2.0, .NET3.0 and .NET3.5 (do not look for .NET 3.1 to 3.4, they do not exist), but .Net framework of 3.0/3.5 cannot live by its own: 3.0 requires 2.0, 3.5 requires 3.0 and 2.0 (plus SPs!).

By "predecessors to VS .NET 2002" I meant the Visual Studio versions prior to VS.NET (for example , VS6) .
