VS Standard 2005 vs 2008

[Arek]

Hi,

I'm going to buy Visual Studio Standard Edition. I've found product
feature comparison for VS 2005 version (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-
us/vstudio/aa700921.aspx). I'm looking for something similar for VS
2008. Is there any? I've installed Orcas Beta 2 Standard and I've
found that there is no option for mobile project creation and there is
MSDN in the same version as in Express Edition.
Can someone give me some information or web link?

BR,
Arek

Hello Arek,

Nobody knows on 100% what are changes which may be introduced into release
of VS2008
Right now the most significant change is that VS 2008 has the Unit Test support
in Standard version

If you're buying 2005 now and 2008 when it comes out, I recommend you pick
up an MSDN subscription instead. Microsoft is listing the MSDN Professional
as $1199. In my experience you can usually find it from resellers for
80-90% of the price Microsoft lists it at. Still a decent chunk of change,
but it will give you full Visual Studio 2005 Professional and 2008
Professional when it's released as well as a lot more.

Thanks, I'll think about MSDN. Maybe it is a solution for me ;-)
