What's the stability of VS2010 like?

Question

I'm talking about VS 2010 Professional/Ultimate RTM (not express versions). Google doesn't show much other than stuff about the beta 2 and RC versions.

Will it run OK on a Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz with 3GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS?

Edit: How does it go with R# 5.0?

Answer 1

Stability: Good

SVN Support (using ankh): Good

2008 to 2010 project upgrade: Good.

No reason not to upgrade.

The only thing is that it requires 3 restarts on XP and 1 on 7...

Answer 2

I've been using the Premium RTM daily since release and experienced no problems whatsoever developing with C#/ASP.NET MVC2.

My machine is also similar specs to yours and has been running just fine.

Regarding your edit, I've also been doing all of this with Resharper 5.0 - again, no problems whatsoever.

Answer 3

I haved runed it for since release now, and i must say i have had no problem at all, but hey diden't have any with VS 2008 ether. But evythings works great fast and all this while looking nice :D Eclipse go home .D

Answer 4

I installed VS 2010 Ultimate RTM, in my laptop and its specs is exactly like yours except the Nvidia, and it is working perfectly with no problems.

Answer 5

I've been very impressed with 2010.

Even the Beta and RC releases were stable. I find VS2008 SP1 hanging on average twice a day for me.

So far the only thing to crash 2010 was a third party plugin.

Answer 6

I was running the RC for a few months before the RTM version was released, and even the RC version was rock solid as far as I was using it.

Answer 7

I didn't use a stopwatch but I got the impression that it is a bit slower at startup than its predecessor.
