.NET Application Development for Windows 7 for XP / Vista

Can anyone point me to some information or pros / cons of using Windows 7 as a development machine? I'm just wondering if I'm developing an application using Visual Studio 2003/5/8 on Windows 7 I'm going to run any problems deploying it on earlier versions of Windows ... xp / vista / windows server, etc.

I don't see how you can run into any problems. As long as the .NET platform versions are compatible (for example, you are not developing version 3.5 on Windows 7 and deploying to an XP machine with version 2.0 installed), it should be fully compatible.

Do it yourself without any problem. Assigning users in Windows XP.



Just don't use Windows 7 features, of course!

as long as you write and use managed code everything should be fine

I have been developing on Windows 7 since Jan with Visual Studio 2008 and .Net 3.5 with no problem. I've done mostly web applications using IIS7, but I've done WPF development as well. As far as previous versions go, I see no reason why you will have a problem.

I think it has more to do with the .Net framwork than the OS version. For example, you are developing your application on Windows 7 platform targeting .Net framework 3.5, if you have .Net Framework 3.5 running on previous OS version this shouldn't cause a problem.
