I used Server 2012 with Hyper-V enabled on this very same machine, with no problem. Something changed in R2 because as soon as I enable it and reboot, my video card is no longer recognized, the 2nd display doesn't work and when I go to re-install the video drivers (nVidia Quadro 600), it can't find the card. I'm pretty sure that I called Microsoft or otherwise got definitive information from them that there was no fi…

I found a similar issue here: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/3a0yra/nvidia_...

Did you try manually installing the Quadro drivers? It sounds like it's not so much a Hyper-V issue as a 2012 R2 issue.

If my understanding is correct you're using VS and writing C#. If that's the case it's just stupid to use VIM. Let me tell you one thing: Using VIM will not make you "pro hacker". It won't even make you more productive, probably.

If my understanding is correct you're using VS and writing C#. If that's the case it's just stupid to use VIM. Please don't call people stupid just because you don't like their workflow. BTW, you can use a Vim emulation layer in VS.

In fairness to GP, GGP isn't using vim, he just seems to have picked up on or imagined a meme that "Real Programmers use vi or emacs".

Which, yes, is a bit daft.

> You can use Community at work as long as you are a small enterprise (less than 5 dev) and you make less than some (huge) amount per year. $1 million annual revenue isn't exactly a huge amount.

Pretty sure if you make more than 1mil per year you can afford to buy VS. The community edition is intended for indies, hobbyists and small enterprises.

$1 million in revenue is a very small enterprise.

I love how the VS2013 update 5 is 6.1GB where you can download the full version of Ultimate with update 5 and it's only 4.8GB. 1990s me would be blown away that VS could be this big. I'd be even more impressed that my work fiber downloaded it at 10.2MB/sec (yes MB not Mb).

1900s me had a fabric binder full of MSDN CDs - dozens upon dozens it seemed - with the same software footprint and a harder "download" process.

Has anyone done anything interesting with Roslyn to date (v1 is mentioned in the notes)?

I was working on a large enterprise application that had a dynamically generated data model, so all data access was done through strings. So much of the code looked like dictionary accesses "if(car[Constants.Wheels"].ContainsKey[Constants.FrontLeftWheel])" Now unfortunately there was not just one constants file, this application numbered nearly 60 projects and each one possessed a constants file and people added stri…

In response to the two replies.

Sure I'll write up a blog post this weekend with the high level details and link to it here when I'm finished.

as a newish dev (eventually I'll work my way to vim), I really enjoy using Visual Studio, and my wallet is very happy that they decided to release a Community edition. Microsoft has been making some great strides lately - keep it up!

There's a VS extension for Vim anyway: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/59ca71b3-a4a3...
