As some of you may have noticed, a few hours ago Microsoft released Windows 7 RTM to those of us with a Technet or MSDN subscription.

I unfortunately didn't have the opportunity time-wise to test the new OS. I'm asking of anyone who used it with Visual Studio 2008 during RC what was your experience? Did you feel the RC offered a stable environment for it? Did it behave well under Windows 7? In short, can I rely on Windows 7 as my soon-to-be development platform?

On another note, did anyone did any tests the new crt? What were the results?

EDIT: As an afterthought, I'm interested indeed in both 32bit and 64bit experiences, since the OS will go to just one of these machines.

x58 chipset and i7 processing unit, Windows 7 RC x64, I had a lot of issues with programs locking up and crashing (not responding, invoking windows "Ill find out whats wrong! .. not) when you try to close the form. It kills development time.

Especially visual studio 2008, countless crashes and lock ups or delays. It does run good most of the time, but it has its moments.

My experience is that its not 100% solid.

I thought that it was weird, because its built in the Vista SP1 core, and my hardware runs Vista very solid, no hitches -ever-.

And yes, it was a fresh install of Win7, not an upgrade. I'm installing Server R2 though, so I'll see how that works out! :D

I couldn't put my finger on it. Under Vista SP1/SP2 it runs rock solid. The video drivers worked great however for my GTX295, motherboard BIOS is up to date.

I don't think that the problem was driver related per-se, but I can't say. The symptoms purely came across as a software related issue with the OS and how it handles the Windows.

The Event logs are not a help, because a generic form crashing doesn't produce any real detail for me to burn through and say "Ah ha!".

I must say though, it was mostly Visual Studio and forms run under the debugging host process. Anything else was pretty okay, so it could be more or less just a compatibility issue

edit

After a fresh install of Windows Server R2 RC, after the initial installation and a driver install for a wireless adapter, the system fails to boot up properly (or atleast "detects" an problem), so you have to manually tell it to boot Windows up normally, which works.

After doing some Windows updates, same thing, but this time the OS fails even when trying to boot up normally and just does a reboot (probably a blue screen, but surpressed by my BIOS)

My experience with R2 was blazingly fast, both in performance and a drop in satisfaction and warm fuzzies about it working good

It seems that either way you go, on the newest of new hardware, it has its issues. Bummer.

编写 Win7 兼容程序的最佳方法是使用 Win7 作为开发平台。我在 Visual Studio 2008 中使用 Win7 x64 将近半年，它看起来相当稳定并且有一些有用的功能（例如snap）。此刻我的所有程序都已准备好进行认证并符合所有 Win7 要求。我使用 VirtualBox 在 Windows XP/Vista 环境中测试我的程序，VirtualBox 在 Win7 上也没有任何问题。

我的硬件是华硕 P5KC 主板上的 Intel Q6600 处理器。ATI 显卡在某些版本的驱动程序之前是不稳定的，现在它可以正常工作了。NVidia显卡一路没有问题。

I've been using Visual Studio 2008 under the RC for a while now. No issues at all. For that matter, I don't remember having any under the Beta either.

Windows 7 is good to go for development, as far as I'm concerned.

We've been piloting Windows 7 internally for some time now and have had very few if any troubles with it. I've personally been using it with Visual Studio 2008 (Full and Express) and have been very pleased with the OS overall. I recommend it. (It is fair to note, however, that we use beefy hardware, generally dual or quad core, 4GB RAM and good video cards for our pilot).

Win7 RC1，VS 2008 SP1 在这里。到目前为止，唯一的问题是如果我使用鼠标滚轮滚动项目树，则在解决方案资源管理器中绘制 VisualSVN 图标时出现图形故障。

有时 Tortoise SVN 缓存也会崩溃。但它可能与 Windows 7 无关。

我已经使用 Windows 7 (x86) 几个月了，从来没有遇到过任何问题。Visual Studio 2008、Adobe 产品、Netbeans 和其他一切运行良好。
