Visual Studio Team System & Windows 7

  • Article

The Windows 7 Beta (Build 7000) was released in January and obviously as a team we were excited to install the shiny new OS as soon as possible.   However, we’re in front of customers most days and we really can’t afford to have beta software causing any problems in our VSTS demos but we took the plunge anyway!  

My current setup is a Lenovo T61p running Windows 7 with Visual Studio Team Suite 2008 SP1 installed.  I then use the MS Loopback Adapter to talk to a Virtual PC 2007 image running Windows Server 2003 (I must get this upgraded to Windows Server 2008 asap) and Team Foundation Server 2008 SP1.

So, I’m happy to report that a number of weeks and plenty of demos and presentations later we haven’t encountered any major issues and we’ve very much enjoying the Windows 7 beta.

Cheers,

Richard

    I think windows 7 will be a big hit. I never fully changed over to vista and still build my new pc's with win xp pro.
