  • Article

Darryl Taft has an article on eWeek that outlines Why Vista Matters to Developers.

Developers can use the existing Microsoft tool set, Visual Studio 2005, to build applications for Vista, Allchin said. The next major revision of the tools platform, code-named Orcas, will improve development for Vista, but "you can use what's available today," Allchin said.
