So, I have VS2008 for a number of years, now. I still use it for the XP application support, until the legacy finishes phasing away.
Anyway, I was working with application (converts FoxPro to SQL Server) and suddenly it popped a message box:
"Microsoft Visual Studio has encountered an internal error.
Microsoft Visual Studio may be unstable now. It is recommended that you save all files and exit."
I needed to go into the task manager to really shut it down.
Anyway, it behaves this way for any application (i.e., solution), not just the one it started with. The screen content (tabs of various sorts) are all but gone.
Very weird. Even after a full system restart, very dead.

It can happen in case of corrupted files, or registry.
Did you check your event viewer for disk failure notifications?
I never finish anyth

I admit I didn't check the log.
All three would still point to the same solution (at least to keep life simple: re-installation.
However, I'll check the logs as you say - for if it's a HDD failure (and this is an old box w/2 80GB drives) I have yet another problem to handle.

It's because VS2015 is out now. 2008 is telling you to bugger off... it's done taking your commands.

I still think ( as I don't do web stuff ) it was a very stable and fast release.

No, that would be the sexist sheep.. or those that are gender confused.

On the way in to work there is a field where white and black sheep are kept.
A colleague of mine pointed out that they were segregated and wondered if that was abahtheid.

They would, except they're too chicken.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

To that question, Ernie vehemently retorted, "No friggin' way would I ever join that group!", what, with he being the "{insert melanin intensity level here} sheep" of the NASCAR aficionado (e.g., 'racist') herd he grew up in.

Was just adding something in QA and I thought: there are things no sentient coder should do these days, but every day in QA we see some halfwit doing them.
So I figure we need a list of Crimes and Misdemeanors, and these are my first candidates.
Misdemeanors are "smack on the head" offenses, Crimes deserve a death sentence! 
Misdemeanors:
A) Ignoring existing standards and modifying someone else's code "your way".
Crimes:
A) Storing passwords in plain text: CommitStrip[^]
B) Leaving your code open to SQL Injection: XKCD[^]
C) Committing code that doesn't compile.
Anyone want to add to these?

Concatenating constant-strings.
Swallowing exceptions.
Throwing ex;
P/Invokes copied from the web when there's a managed alternative.
..would become a long list.
