In Visual Studio .NET 2003, start it up, go to "My Profile" at the start page and change yur Keyboard Scheme to Visual C++ 6

I did that of course, but Find in Files e.g. is no longer ALT+e+i, it's now ALT+e+f+i

Again, I can't speak for Beta 8, but .Net 2003 is currently taking up 17 Megs of memory according to task manager.

That depends on the workspaces you're working with. My impression is that the new version eat a lot more memory per file in the workspace.

No matter what, use VC++ 2003 or newer. Why? Complete implementation of the STL. If you're not using the STL, you're not coding in C++ - stop hacking together containers, algorithms, etc. and use the STL.

STL is working well with VC6, I do always use them.

There is a reason a lot of game programmers stay away from C++ - procedural design is very suited to game development...Your choice of IDE depends on what you are doing. I mean, I know a few guys who like to code in VIM...

The STL version with VC6 is old and incomplete. VC6 also has a horrible compiler that only supports approx 80% of the C++ standard where as VC 2003 is almost dead on with the standard.

Just remember in VS.net 2002/2003/8, pretty much everything can be customized. I mean everything.

If the keyboard shorcuts arn't to your liking, you can change them, they are in Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard, and then enter 'Find' in the action filter, and you will see the find in files action, where you will see the current key. For me this is ctrl-alt-F which works very well for me.

Also absolutly every tab and window and pane can be moved around. You can make it look damn near exactly like VC6 if you want, but I personally don't find this as productive.

I've been recently using embedded VC++ 6 for a pocket pc project, and honestly I really really miss the VS.net ide (however I also found it difficult to get used to).

I have never used anything newer then Visual Studio 6 and am a bit lost. How do I set up OpenGL in Nehe's chapter 1 tutorial? I am missing 6 badly since I am so use to it but I need to move on;)

VC 8 should import old VC.net and VC6 projects, so download one of them and import it.. it should work. if it doesn't then we should be able to help you out...
