I have no issues with VS 2015, everything was/is perfect.

I don't have any issues with it.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Even after Update 1 it's got problems.
It does prefer to crash every once in a while. I just started it, messed around with a small C++ project and just left it sit for a couple of hours. Came back and unlocked the machine, tried to go back to the VS window and it crashed.
Little things like that on my home Win10 machine and at work on Win8.1. A day doesn't go by where VS2015 hasn't crashed on me at least once.

Your PC should be a machine with big RAM and fast processor - if you dont like starring at "loading windows"

I have just set up a new, slightly more powerful home development machine. I installed Windows 7 on it and then went ahead and installed VS 2015 Community Edition with no apparent issues.
I am now debating whether that was a good idea and if I should have put VS 2013 on it, as I have on my old dev machine, since 2013 doesn't bug me about that darned cloud thingy all the time! ...and I had just got used the poor visual-quality of the UI only to have it get worse!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I'd love to give you some relevant information but my office machine (the first 64bit dev machine in the building) has so much crap on it I can't identify the source of the problems. I do have constant lock ups that last around 90 seconds and this weird cmd.exe window keeps appearing!

I have VS 2015 installed on my Win 10 home PC - 3 Ghz quad core Athlon with 12 Gb RAM and it runs fine. Can't recall ever having any crashes.
Also had it shoe-horned onto a low-end tablet (also Win 10 - 1Gb RAM and 16Gb storeage...) and, while slow(ish) I was somewhat surprised to find it was perfectly usable when partnered with a USB keyboard. I wouldn't voluntarily choose to go back to VS 2013.
But then, I'm just a hobbyist tinkerer..

I got one of those Windows 10 development environment VMs which include VS2015.
Get a Windows 10 development environment - Windows app development[^]
I used Hyper-V.
I've been using VS2013 for a good while and had no problem opening and woking on my solutions using VS2015 in the VM.
It's still too early for me to completely move to VS2015 for daily development though.

Doesn't work with Bitbucket (unless there is a workaround I can't find).
|
|
|
|

It does, you have to create a local Git repository first.
Add solution to source control > Git > Commit
Create bitbucket project on their website.
Click Sync > Paste in remote bitbucket URI from "I have an existing project" > Commit

Thanks very much for that! I was previously using Git Extensions in VS2010 and couldn't get that to work in VS2015.
This site:
BitBucket in VS 2015?[^]
indicated that it wasn't supported so I didn't delve to much further until I read your post. Now I have it working using Git GUI instead. Not quite as integrated as my previous method but indeed it does work.

VS2015 has ASP.Net 5 and MVC 6 (unless these can these can be loading in vs2013??) - which offer some benefits to previous version - mainly for me - build times reduced by new why server side code compiled. and Web API Controller + MVC Controller merged into one controller.

Hell, I use VS2008 and VC++ 6.0. Yeah I have 2013 & 2015 installed, but jeez they are huge and I spend more time arguing with VS then coding.

I moved from VS2010 to VS2015 Community. Running on my Windows7 machines Home and work. I have had no problems at all. It has productivity tools available that I had not seen before and are extremely helpful. I am not sure about the slowness issue but I do not find it that way.

wish id stuck with VS2010

Only issue I had with VS2015 was that Blend 2015 doesn't support importing Photoshop PSD files; VS2013's Blend did ... so I'll keep both versions for now.
Other than that I frequently run 4 or more instances with no issues (12GB; 3.4Ghz; quad core)

I had a lot of stability problems pre "update 1", and with 3rd party addins loaded.
Removing the addins and applying update 1 fixed almost all my issues.
The only real paint point I have is that it's much slower for alot of things (refactoring/smart tags etc) than VS2013 was. When I say much, it probably isn't a lot in terms of actual time - but it's everytime you use those features, so it seems painful. Other than that, I quite like it now.

Just because of the speed issue, I stick with 2013....

Did I mentioned, that I hate those ISO inspections?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

As long as you do what's in The Book, you're fine.
Which is why when I had to write one many years ago, I included things I actually did instead of should do. Hence the "Dogs inward procedures" as well as "Goods inward procedures" and so forth...
Code inspections can serve a genuinely useful purpose if they are used right, ISO inspections generally don't.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Not really - it means lot of trouble but some good insights.
I am fine without it.

So I finally got around to installing Windows 10 on my main computer. Installed a new SSD, installed from USB using Windows 10 1511 10586.0 ISO. Pressed the I do not have a Product Key during installation as I couldn't get to the next step without doing so. I then chose Windows 10 Pro as the next step.
Then tried to activate it using the OEM Windows 7 Professional key on the sticker stuck to the side of the computer. I get an error telling me the Software Licensing Service has reported this is an invalid key.
I know I could have upgraded the original installation and then done the clean install but didn't want to waste time going over the same ground.
Does anyone know how to get Windows activated with my key?
I could ring and do it over the phone, but it's Sunday, I'm not sure if they are open and it is advertised as just working now using the Windows 7 key.

That sounds like a new Windows 10 problem, I'll keep this on the list. 
Anyways, I hope the following would help, I am adding one geek post (which, typically, I do not follow) and one from the Microsoft threads posted by another geek (which, may suffice).
How to do a Clean Install of Windows 10, the Easy Way[^]
The Free Upgrade to Windows 10 for Windows 7 OEM, Windows 7 Retail, - Microsoft Community[^]
I am not sure whether you are able to use your machine at all, but, I guess things are pretty much messed up:
Quote: Users who went from Windows 7 → Windows 10 Technical Preview would likely have to Reinstall their Operating system in order to prove they had an original Windows OS. However it may be impossible for users who didn't backup their installations in advance using the OEM utility such as Dell Backup and Recovery, have a faded COA and don't have Windows 7 Installation media.
That mentions Technical Preview, I am not sure which build you are on at the moment. Anyways, good luck.

As mentioned Windows 10 1511 10586.0.

I entered my key during setup and it told me to get stuffed. I also remember hearing here on Code Project that I shouldn't enter the key until after Windows 10 is already installed.
