Thank you Glenn, I really needed a laugh this morning! 
Microsoft fix bugs? Nah...they just paper a new layer of UI over the top and hope you won't notice!
2010 has a few bugs - as did 2008 - but overall it's OK. You have to tread carefully sometimes (particularly when you start using abstract base classes for UserControls) but it's been pretty reliable so far. Generally the problems are teh same in 2008 and 2010. I haven't moved up to 2012 yet, as I haven't needed any of it's features (or want the monochrome SHOUTY look everyone complained about) and don't want to spend the money on something I wont be using yet. Probably, I'll skip 2012 completely and go to 2013 once the SP1 service patch is released (you know: the first non-beta version). It probably won't be long - there will be enough critical errors they have to bodge round fix in teh first six months if experience is any guide...

Glad to be of service in the humour department. When I hear from the guy I heard that from is messing with data bases quite a bit. So the advice is stick with what you know, I can live with that.

Yeah. We're too still running VS2010 on Windows 7 currently. However I've heard of plans of ugrading to Windows 8.1 and VS2013 during the next year 
I think VS2010 is a good deal better than 2008 was. However you can't expect it to be without bugs. On of the most annoying features probably that the ASPX designer quickly runs out of memory and stops working when starting the debugger a few times (everything works fine exept the Design view of the aspx which I didn't need that much anyway...)

My limited experience with VS2010 told me to skip that version and wait for VS2012 which is a lot better (performance wise).
(I just wish we could goto VS2013 instead, but are limited by 3rd party libraries).
I'd rather be phishing!

If it ain't broke, don't replace it.
Whether or not you'll encounter bugs depends on what you do with it.
I use 2010 at home and never had any trouble with it. At work I do a lot of SSIS, and encountered problems in 2008, 2010, and 2012; that's just the nature of the beast.

I use VS2010 for C# development at home and it works well. However, I'm limited to .NET 4.

That is reassuring, I only tend to write stuff to interface to hardware in C# not really much else!

I upgraded from VS2008 to VS2010 a long time ago and haven't regretted it for a moment. I tried VS2012 when it came out and removed it from my system in short order. I will stick with VS2010 as long as possible and then probably go to VS2017 or whatever it is called, if necessary. I expect to be using VS2010 for a long time yet. For what I do, it just works, mostly.

We have been on 2010 for some time and I manage to crash it every couple of days, I have to reboot at least every day otherwise the systems grinds to a halt. This is probably due to VS negotiating with every AV product known to man that is inflicted on my system .
I find 2012 dramatically faster when starting up and 2013 about the same which may be due to better AV handling

Interesting article, makes sense that intelligence agency would use that sort of thing to recruit!

As these hackers got more and more into it, the CIA and NSA were tracking them more and more carefully. If the two organizations were doing something covertly, what better way to distract the best hackers by releasing a puzzle for them to waste time on.
