>>>Thank you, Naomi. I am not surprised that new MS version is much slower than the previous; this is their trade mark <g>. I wonder if I will be able (when I get VS 2010) to disable the version control and make things work faster.

>>I haven't noticed any slowness yet myself but I only started looking at it. I did immediately notice that it is entirely WPF in design and opening VS2008 rdlc files requires a conversion to take place. Haven't tested bringing in an entire project or solution yet though and may not have time for that for awhile. The look and feel is really really nice though---like the x on the tabs for closing (like IE tabs) instead of all of them on the one x in the top right corner of that window.

>Bill K. mentioned that if you open a 2005 or 2008 project in 2010 it will no longer be useable in the earlier version(s). Presumably it warns you before converting.

Wasn't that the case with 2003 and 2005 projects in 2008? I get prompted to convert when I open 2003 or 2005 projects in 2008...
