In the table on the site, I find the hotfix, 3rd from the bottom: I eventually find DevDiv Hotfix Public Availability Pilot Program. But something is wrong with the link to the hotfix, I see a page not found error. I know I am not seeing the error message described, but hey maybe the installer will fix it anyway. What?!?! At first I am ready to chalk this up to Publish not working, and I go to Scott Gu's blog to get that Publish hotfix. You care supposed to see this: Instead in the status bar, I see this build succeeded. Visual Studio was immediately acting weird. I have written before about problems with Publish. The first thing I noticed that something was wrong was when I went to publish my site. Yesterday my dalliance with another IDE caused Visual Studio 2005 to go all Glenn Close fatal attraction and I missed a deadline because of it.

Crap, if the IDE can't even sit still without crashing, how could I even think about using this as my main IDE?!? There were some posts in the SharpDevelop Bug Reporting forum and I added one to the list (still waiting on a response, over a week later). After I opened it, I let the IDE sit their since I had to go do other stuff, and when I came back to it, SharpDevelop had crashed with an unhandled exception. One of the first things I did was open an existing Visual Studio 2005 solution to see how the SharpDevelop IDE compared to VS. When I was researching Mono, I installed SharpDevelop to play around with.
