Cool thanks for the tips. I’m looking forward to eventually migrating my whole .NET development platform to a VMWare image on a OSX. Any experience with this? (I actually already have my image on Win, but am looking to get a Mac once OSX 10.5 comes out.)

At the guy who suggested just dropping .NET. That’s great to drop .NET if you’re working on some small project by yourself for your uncle’s website that hosted for $10/month on some shared server (or a startup that has no infrastructure). But if you ever do any big client projects, at established institutions who already have massive data centers built on .NET (or J2EE), with a trained operations staff in managing the data center, well, then…good luck convincing them to swap out their backend. You’re not going to have any say in the architecture for the backend. I’ll gladly take the work from you.

Ilya, dude!
Since when Flex is supposed to replace asp.net? Decent languages like ruby are like 203823 times slower than .net, and Java is overloaded with syntax requirements that c# doesn’t have. VS 2005 is the best IDE there is, better than Eclipse or any JBuilder. Most of the developers of .net stayed with Microsoft because of their development environment. I did dome Java, when I started Netbeans or JBuilder I had time to walk my dog until it booted up. Flex is supposed to be the front end to a web service of flash remoting. ASP.NET supports free flash remoting protocol if you know how to set it up. Web Services are developed in seconds in vs2005. Go do some reading, because apparently you have no IT knowledge which is which but just read DHH’s blog or some opinionated source. Every Java developer is happy to escape Java to Ruby, and with .net you will have IronRuby and C# and IronPython + ASP.NET and other IL compilers. Even PHP run under .net (phpalanger it is call, as I remeber) is faster than the native version. Mac are nice hardware, but you’re only left with slow Java solutions or crippled languages like PHP. It’s good to be able to run VS2005 .

dude,

don’t make it sad. you get more done when you are happy, so toss the whole xp, .net stuff. Who needs it anyway? work on apple? develop in flex, let some other schmo do the .net thingamigs, or do it in a decent language like ruby or maybe ehm, java…
