...on which version of VS we use, and I answered 2010, because I haven't needed any of the extras in 2012 or 2013, don't run "real work" on betas, and didn't want the SHOUTY MENU or Dark Side interface.
A customer calls up and says "can you look at this code we had written for us? There are a couple of bugs, and we can't contact the guy who wrote it." Of course I will! (Time is Money, after all!  )
It's in VS2013 isn't it...care to guess what I was downloading and installing overnight?
Yep: VS 2013 community edition. 
OK, time to change the vote. Assuming it ever finishes "getting things ready, thanks for your patience" that is.

Welcome to the club...

That will have to wait until it finishes "getting things ready", if it ever does.
I'm assuming this doesn't happen every single time you start the damn thing!

Download, install and first run is painfully long, but after that 2013 and 2015 loads much faster than older versions...Microsoft added a background extension/solution loader that makes it happen...

Just how painful?
I ask, because it is still "getting things ready" two hours later... 
Perhaps "Thanks for your patience." needs a couple of extra words: "incredible" is one which springs to mind.
What the heck is it doing? it's using CPU and memory (but only about 5% CPU) and no I/O I can see. Oh well, let's see if it ever finishes...

I remember that there was a problem with update 4 - you may find the thread about it, it was in the lounge...
Two hours is definitely wrong!

Three minutes, give a take after I entered my MS password.
What annoys me most is not just hiding the dialog, but hiding the dialog on my secondary monitor (while the "Getting ready" screen in on the primary) and not showing it in the taskbar. So I genuinely had no idea it even existed...

Thank you for the hint - I'd still be waiting this time tomorrow otherwise.

That's a feature Griff. It ONLY happens if you're running Chrome!

I am also using VS2010 but download VS2013 CE just to see what all the hub bub was about and what was different. I'm still using VS2010 regularly!
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0
My goal in life is to have a psychiatric disorder named after me.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

Is it quicker to download and install, or to do everything in a simple text editor?
Swings and roundabouts.

I'm also still using 2010 for WPF and .Net 4 as I haven't needed any of the new features yet.
Installed 2013 Community on another laptop and it seems nice. The laptop is still fresh and runs Win 8.1 and so far it's fast enough.
Even found an extension that brings back support for MSI installer projects.

Using VS 2013 since last year...
Have no problems with it, runs smooth, love the dark side and yeah no complaints at all.
BTW: Have you tried turning it off and on again 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Or you could just make a new project in 2010 and import all the source.. maybe. Not always.

I wonder if they could send the Mars Rover to go take a look.........

Then they could sniff each others...antenna.

I still reckon some NASA "scientists" jammed screwdrivers in bad places on Beagle, because they don't want people getting the idea that you can "do space" without budgets in the billions.

That's Beagles for you: Once they get a scent they're oblivious to everything else!
