No response in the vstudio.general group so...

I currently have Visual Studio 6 Enterprise and Visual Studio .NET 2003
Enterprise Architect installed. I am about to install Visual Studio 2005
Professional.

Is Visual Studio 2005 an upgrade/replacement for one or both of these
products?

In short, going forward with any new code being written, will Visual Studio
2005 handle all of my needs; both .NET coding and non-.NET coding?

It would be nice to finally have just one development studio.

Thanks.
 
Visual Studio 2005 will not replace or "upgrade" earlier products. It is a
completely separate installation, and should not interfere with the continued
operation of either of the two products you mention as having already
installed.

As Peter said, it's a completely independent install. You can have all of
them sitting side-by-side if you want.

Yes, 2005 should handle all those needs. It can create both .NET and normal
Win32 applications - but so could 2002 and 2003. What are you using VS6 for
now that you cannot use 2003 for?
