Well we have reached the end of the review. Here are my final comments, notes and grades for Visual Studio .NET 2003.
Final Comments

How It Grades |
|
Installation:
92% |
Overall, Visual Studio.NET 2003 is a very solid product, and is almost certainly the best integrated development environment currently available. When compared to Visual Studio.NET 2002, it�s faster and more feature rich, but there isn�t anything included that makes it much more than a huge service pack. (And it�s priced to reflect this at $29 for the upgrade.) Nonetheless, I highly recommend it to everybody, including those using VS.NET 2k2.
So, in conclusion: Visual Studio.NET 2003 = Good.
