Rating:  - Amazon product description is missing a critical warning
Another review touched on this problem but I think that Amazon should include the following (in a large font) at the beginning of the product description:
"Warning! This product cannot be used to upgrade from earlier Visual Studio versions such as 2003"
I am sure that most customers would assume that the purpose of the Visual Studio 2005 upgrade is to upgrade from an earlier version of Visual Studio. Amazon could avoid a lot of wasteful product returns with this warning.
Rating:  - What qualifies as an upgrade for Visual Studio 2005/DB connectivity
You may be wondering what qualifies as an upgrade vs. having to buy the base product for visual studio 2005(there's about $100 difference between the two).

Microsoft being Microsoft, they allow upgrade from other ... Read More

I'm a C++ developer and I bought Visual Studio 2005 to take advantage of the resource editor, since in most other respects the free edition (Visual Studio Express) has many of the same features. I'm sorry to report that the resource editor is practically unusable, and they have yet to patch it as of this writing.
The resource editor routinely corrupts the resource file, and sometimes even refuses to save changes. I've had to resort to using my old Visual C++ 2003 just for the resource editor. ... Read More
Rating: - Best Visual Studio Yet
In my opinion, the best Visual Studio version yet. Quick startup with customizable visual settings based on what language programmer you are. I found this very easy to just into .NET 2.0 C# as well as a C++ programmer, and the windows forms designer is very clean and easier to use in my opinion. The layout seems more modern and easier to use, and blends in very well with Windows Vista or Windows XP.
The upgrade edition is very nice as well, since there is a long list of products this can upgrade ... Read More
