Madonna is a horse with noname
In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

I don't think Madonna is in this one. Sarah Jessica Parker perhaps...

Never seen such a load of #$%e9ac73-238b-46be-991d-0f050c37248dOpinions and facts are clearly over represented, and where are cats in that chart?

Surely cats could be in any and indeed all of those sections?

Let me repeat that: Never, never, never ever install Microsoft preview SDKs.
For a very good reason, from Microsoft own account, if you have a preview SDK on your system, you will have trouble installing and/or running the final version. (and uninstall process of all the dependent bits is an error prone process liable to leave your system in an incorrect state)
That bite me me in me arse with .NET 3.5, Vs uh... 2010 was it? something like that I vowed to never do it again!
Unfortunately I got too excited by .NET Core and installed the preview bits on my main (work computer)... Now, after a few install / reinstall /uninstall / repair of preview 1, preview 2, RC1, RC2 final.. I just can't compile any .NET core no more on my work PC and I just can't figure out what's wrong... :'(
Luckily (and stupidly!!) .NET Core preview 2 is working fine on my home computer! But... mm... perhaps it was a mistake installing it...
Damn I should have fire up a VM!!
Will try tonight.. hopefully create in VS2015-Windows 10 Hyper-V VM doesn't take too much time! 
Could I somehow clone my running environment?
Are there somewhere out there ready made (even if time limited) VM Images? (with Windows 10 + VS2015)

That's the only way I code these days. Clean operating system images at the ready. Bring on the preview SDKs.

Disk2vhd[^] from Sysinternals.
If you have weird hardware, YMMV I suppose, but it worked well enough for me the few times I used it.

I rather program on my main machine.. I strongly prefer it!! 
We did try to work on VM at work... Using local HyperV VM running on local drive... But it was just too damn painful to use...
That said a test VM to test a preview SDK on my home super computer! that I can cope with! 
And thanks for your link, might prove helful!

The bottleneck is almost always disk I/O. Use SSDs, use RAID, use whatever you can to speed it up. Then throw RAM at it.
Right now, my i7-4820K machine is running 14 VMs (running side-by-side, not merely present but powered off), using 48 of its 64GB of RAM. I'm sure there's some overhead in having things virtualized - I've never run anything native on this machine so I can't compare, but all VMs are pretty snappy and responsive, and I've never had a reason to believe the CPU is a problem (or the i7-2600K I used to use before that as a host, 3 or 4 years ago).
The simplified backup process, as well as the ability to very quickly spin up a new VM, is well worth the expenditure in hardware IMO.
|
|
|
|
|
Well.. we were using variable size virtual drive, for lack of big real/host drive to start with...
A completely hopeless situation considering how disk space hungry Xamarin is (because multiple version of the Android + iOS SDK chew up space like there is no tomorrow!!)

I learnt a long time ago that installing anything that wasn't the proper release version (and for Microsoft, that usually means Service Pack 1) on a "proper" system was a mistake, and I try never to do it.
A "Technology preview" is pre Beta, which means for a normal company that QA haven't even been told it might exist at some point in the future...

I am very lazy in installing ANY Software from Microsoft. I often wait to check what other "Beta-testers" are getting as results.
tip: install betas only on machines/devices which can suffer a hard factory reset
