Software developer: XP or Vista

Coders Tell Why They’re Avoiding Vista…

In terms of application,

“More attractive apps are more user-friendly apps, says Microsoft, and that translates into increased user productivity.”

“More lean and mean apps are more user-friendly apps, says Enterprises, and that translates into decreased ‘confused and cluttered’.”

In terms of technologies,

XP-era technologies such as Windows Forms will be around for many years to come.

Vista-era ones such as WPF will slowly rise as the way to do Windows applications.

In the real battlefields,

98% of the apps written are for the Web. Many clients apps are migrated from VB6 or .Net.
