Nope. I work in VS2010. My understanding is VS2013 is for Win8 only. I work in Win7 only. Thus, not excited. On the other hand, I love resharper. ---

I could care less. What, they made it Windows 8 compatible? Because Windows 8 is soooo great… ---

I can’t decide which I like more…windows 8, windows ME, or migraines…probably migraines but both OSes cause them and are about as useful as a migraine. Fact. :wink: ---

In fact, Windows 7 runs better on my Macbook Pro than it does on my PC. I’m not currently developing software with visual studio, but have in the past. 2007 was the last iteration I used. ---

I realize this. My understanding is Win7 doesn’t handle the retna display particularly well. Also, I would only ever be booting into windows. I would never be using emulation. My last 10 computers were all macs. Now I live with a lenovo X1-C and just wish I could go back. ---

Valve is going to release a console that runs on \*nix, so that is definitely a step in the right direction. ---

Yeah, Windows 7 is okay, could be better, but with the direction Microsoft is going with Windows 8, it is a good thing Linux is starting to become more than an obscure operating system only a few people use.
