Rob,

I agree that I prefer Visual Studio 2005 and except for some painting issues
in Vista, VS2005 works great for me. But since I work for an ISV that still
needs to support Visual Studio 6 for our ActiveX controls, I need to install
VS6 on Vista. According to what I have heard, in the current build of Vista,
Visual Studio 6 is the only supported IDE.
