A colleague wanted to show me how great VS 2005 was and the
installation was a nightmare indeed. I understand from your message
it's even worse with 2008....

The  OEM VS 2005 version delivered with Vulcan on the other hand
installed in minutes. But it is unclear what the advantages of the
full VS 2008 would be against the OEM version of VS 2005. This is not
do***ented and Vulcan does not sup****t several VS features anyway.

In a brief checkout I found that Vide is quick and lean and -as it
seems- with more (useful) features related to Vulcan use then VS has
(e.g. sup****ting VO and Winforms together) - as long as you do not
need to use several langauges from in VS.

It would be nice if someone could make a kind of comparison chart of
VS 2005 OEM-VS 2005 full - VS 2008 - Vide, used with Vulcan.
