Have you tried to run MS .Net Studio in VPC on this 12" PB? How is the performance?

    if you need to develop using some visual basic env. then why are you using a mac? it seems a bit ridiculous and hypocritical to use a mac when your developing in a mess of some ms programing. your just contributing to your own demise. if you want to develop on the mac, then use one of the many developing enviroments that mac uses.

    Dog slow. The 12-inch PB lacks the L3 cache needed to run VPC acceptably. Just Windows XP alone runs too slow to be usable.

      So much for "the developer's perspective."

        It's too bad you're a victim of MS lock in then. A lot of developers seem to get along fine without visual studio. Maybe you should ask MS to provide a cross platform version? I'm sure they'd listen to their customers.
