VC++ 2008 Express

I know the bata version has been release to the general public. Has anyone installed and used it yet? Can you have both 2005 and 2008 on the same computer?

Thanks

I have. There aren't any shocking differences though.

I haven't seen any ill effect from having my gamut of the versions (all the way back to 6.0) on one computer.

I am using it right now, I just migrated from both VC# 2005 express and VC++ 2005 express to 2008, and as Narue said, there are no shocking differences, just some changes in gui and on VC# .NET 3.5 integration on it.

Final release versions are available, so no need to use the beta. It should be fine side by side with 2005 (I know we had to do a bunch of tests for Visual Web Developer). Don't know about feature differences in C++...

Re: VC++ 2008 Express

They told me when I was installing the Professional Version RTM I had to uninstall the 2005 Version of VS Pro. But I think you can run them side by side the only problem would be if you have a 2005 solution and you opened it, it will open in the 2008 version and not the 2005. But thats only through Explorer.
