At work I'm using XP with VS2003, SQL2005 because we've some projects I need to work on that are in .Net 1.1 and VS2003 projects. At home I'm running Vista and while I like it, the generally sluggish UI is annoying and I have to run VS2005 and SQL Express SP2 etc. I also want to start working on some of the MS certifications. Should I stick with Vista an VS2005 at home, or drop back to XP and VS2003. Whaddy think, and what are you using?
 
I use XP and VS2003 and never have any problems. Granted, I don't do any heavy .net stuff. it's usually just editing stuff our devs have done. All our devs use XP though. A couple have tried Vista but went back to XP shortly after.
 
using Vista and VS 2008 as well as SQL2005 and have no issues regarding speed.

Sound like your computers not up to it so might be worth going back to XP or getting an Upgrade.

Laptop is up to spec. 2Ghz, Core 2 Duo, 2GB ram etc. Its just Vista never feels fast switching if your constantly switching between XP and Vista. I'm currently running Vista 64. Was running Vista 32 for the last 9 months or so. I tried Server 2008 yesterday and its far faster than Vista. Better than XP even. Unfortunately I couldn't get a driver that work with my laptops 7900gs in the proper widescreen resolutions. 1920x1200 or 1440x900 etc. I might try again using powerstrip.

Then again I could try a Mac
