Greetings all --
I have been on microsoft reading the system requirements for VS 2008 and I 
am taken to a page that lists a bunch of supported configurations, including 
XP Professional.
I had the impression that VS 2005 was for XP and 2008 required vista. Am I 
wrong? I want to get whatever is current. If I need a vista box, I'll get 
one, but I have XP pro on my current box and enough disk space to download 
the components.
So at the risk of asking the obvious, for the people running 2008, can I run 
it on XP pro, or do I need vista?
I am only asking because my impressions reading list mail and reading the 
data on the microsoft site diverge.
Thanks in advance.
If I can get out of paying for a new laptop right now it would be nice to 
get started on an xp pro compatible version of VS 2008, if that isn't an oxy 
moron.
Thanks much in advance.
