Visual Studio 2008 Installation Experience

The installation experience of Visual Studio 2008 is good. It’s pretty smooth. I choose to install all the options. It took 4.3 GB and 75 minutes to install the whole stuff excluding MSDN in my system [Pentium M 1.7 GHz with 1GB ram].

The installer didn’t ask me to restart the system in the middle. That’s one good thing. I hate re starting a system while installing software. But I had to restart the system at the end.

After installation I tried creating a Hello World web site, and it worked flawlessly. Thanks a lot for Brad [IndyNDA.org] and Microsoft for this awesome Christmas gift :-D.
