I went from 2008 to 2015 cause of that 64bit E&C.
What a slow over bloated - oh my gosh. I wasn't part of the slow creep of bloat so I was shocked. What'ya mean "preparing to start"? I have elephanting work to do.
And it won't load on XP but my product project does so:
Back to 08

2008 is a speedboat compared to 2010 and later cruise ships. The latter will get you there in comfort, but take a while to do so. Right now, though, 2015 is looking more like the Costa Concordia.

That's a good analogy. I felt like I was floating on a sea of .NET? or Java?
It a real nice text editor and compiler for cryin' out loud.

Probably some borked library on your machine...
I am waiting until windows 10 comes out, then fresh install it and VS2015......

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Microsoft Product Testing.
The rules are simple:
1) Ignore existing bug reports - added features are much more profitable. It costs money to fix bugs!
2) Ignore beta tester comments - they didn't pay for the product, so what do they know?
3) All release categories are at least one step to the left of those in the rest of the world.
MS Name Real world name
Beta It compiles!
RC Alpha
RTM Beta
SP1 RTM
It's been this way since the DOS days, and they never listen. 
I sometimes think their QA department consists of two copies of ELIZA and a tree sloth...

[Re MS QA department]
What does the tree sloth do?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Hits "Reset" when ELIZA crashes.

It got released so that some people could test for any remaining bugs and feed this back to Microsoft so that the wise ones who wait six months get a product with very few bugs.
I just upgraded to 2013 a few days back and it's a great product now that the bugs have been ironed out.

Don'T you dare frighten me guy, just wanted to download the VS 2015 to check how it is, now im not sure what to do... instructions unclear
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Download and install side-by-side with your current VS installation.
No biggie.
I've been playing with VS2015 fro a few days (C++/MFC) and found no real issues other than the compiler being a lot better and generating a lot more warning.
We cannot use it for production yet, because our 3rd party libraries do not yet support VS2015; and their headers barfs our warning with the new compiler.
I'd rather be phishing!

Just try to program in Delphi XE8 for a few hours. You'll go running and screaming back to VS2015 before you're even able to get your project to compile.

Some, but not all. July 4th is a holiday for just about everyone in the States, but not a holy day (unless worshipping wieners and fireworks counts). Christmas - on the other hand - is considered pretty holy.

Thank you Sir Kent Sharkey. Or is it Mr. ... English is hard for me 
Thanks

You're very welcome. Mr. is fine - Sir is usually reserved for very formal occasions (or when someone has been knighted).
Or as the old saying goes, "Call me whatever you want, just don't call me late for dinner."

Why my soapbox message is deleted "immediately"? It was only a link to deep purple....
Not a big issue, simply not clear.

Sorry, I don't have any idea. I'd think links to Deep Purple would go over well here.
