ScottD's Musings

I'm close to rebuilding my Dell Latitude C840 laptop, after buying a new 7200rpm Hitachi hard drive.  With this build, I'm seriously considering installing just the basics on the laptop (Office, Firefox, Project, WinZip, BlogJet, SharpReader, etc... and Virtual PC).  Then, I'm considering using VMs for my development environments (VS 2003, VS 2005, etc...).  I like the idea of having a low-serviced build on the laptop, and allowing the VMs to do all my design/development work.  I'm not doing much mobility development (issues with mobility/emulator in VPC/VMWare), so that shouldn't be an issue.  For me, when the laptop takes FOREVER to load up all the services related to development, when I want to simply check email, is a pain! 

Scott Burnside's recent espn.com article says it best (at least from my feelings...)  All this mess, over a single (albeit HUGE) issue.

Check out Dan Fernandez' (Program Manager for Visual C#) recent post,  TechEd 2005 Sessions Announced.  The sessions look great!  I wish I could make it, but we'll be expecting a new addition to our family at the same time (why didn't I check my geek calendar first ;) )
