I think that depends... if the developer's machine has 512MB of RAM, I don't care about having 50MB for VS in memory... :)
>Whew... that's enough to cure anybody!
>>Take a look at the memory footprint in TaskManager between the VS and VFP. On my box VFP8 = 7.4mb (the taskpane doubles it), VS = 31mb without any projects/code open.
