Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1

Posted on May 25th, 2009

Yeah I guess the title sums this up. Reminds me of how ridiculous it was when VS 2008 was launched and wouldn’t run on Vista …

I tried to get this up on Windows 7 RC1 and it installed fine but when it loads the screen doesn’t paint correctly. After a few clicks I just get the frame of the IDE and nothing else … freaking joy.

I _might_ be related to running in a virtual machine but either way it should work otherwise I’ll be stuck with VS 2008 for quite some time.

edit: I knew this would come back to bite me, no point hiding it. The readme has the solution about vmware 3d acceleration issues. Turn it off and you’re good – not a great solution but still a solution. I’m not sure who is to blame for the issue.
