Hi Craig. Many thanks for that.
So my develoment machine will need to be upgraded ??
i.e. I cant LOAD Vis Studio 2012 onto a Pre Windows 8 machine ?
If I do upgrade to windows 8, will I still be able to develop using Vis studio 2010 or lower,(and have multiple Versions of Vis studio on same machine)
For instance, Vis Studio stopped supporting Windows Mobile (i.e. 5.0, 6.5 mobile etc) from VS 2010 on
Regards,
Gerard


>There never was a Visual Studio 2011. There was "VS 11", which refers to its version number. It's been branded "Visual Studio 2012" by Microsoft marketing. That's the version you need. It will RTM in the first week of August, with General Availability (GA) in October. You will also need Windows 8, which has the same RTM and GA schedule. So, if you have an MSDN subscription, you can get both later this month.
