Interview Question in Sql Server 2000


 

Interview Question :: Has anybody else made the move to LAMP because of Vista

I am seriously disappointed with Vista. As a .Net guy, I've run into some problems. SQL Server Express doesn't run on Vista (but it did on XP). I downloaded the SSE Service Pack 2, and I still ran into errors. Also, my good old Access 2000 is no good, from what I here. So then I tried to download MySQL 5.0, and it didn't install, as well.

This sucks because all of the above work fine on XP. My desktop is XP, but my laptop is VIsta. It looks like I might have to dual boot XP and Vista on my laptop to continue to be productive.

However, I have been seriously considering making the jump to LAMP. I'm tired of every time Microsoft comes out with something new it screws up everything else. You think I want to pay for Access 2007 when Access 2000 was just fine for my needs?

Anybody else been perturbed with Vista as a developer?
