I wanna buy a notebook that has an atom intel processor
with 1.86 speed
and I want to install visual studio on it, so can it handel VS?
I'm currently using a notebook (Compaq Mini 110c 1111EV) (With 2Gb of RAM) with windows xp home. I have installed Visual Studio 2008 for my work. It works fine. With that I mean not with the best speed but with no unrealistic delays. I have also installed Visual C# 2008 Express. That works even better.
Once I tried visual studio 2010 But it was not working to the speed I wanted. So I don't recommend using it on this. I have even used MATLAB 2008 on this with good performance.
Finally If you hope to run Vista or Windows 7, you may experience slower performance than you can manage.
So finally I would say If you expect to use Visual studio 2008 on Windows XP, you are good to go and anything more than that may make you unhappy.
Good Luck
and I want to install visual studio on it, so can it handel VS?
You can install VS on it. It will run. It will likely not be incredibly fast, as it's a fairly slow processor, and will likely has slow memory and disk access, as well.

I am starting to develop apps for Windows 8 Phone. There are three IDEs that I have come across for development purposes:
VS2012 Professional
VS2012 Express
VS 2012 Ultimate
Which IDE should I use, and why?
That decision is a little bit depend from what you want to achieve. If you are a professional and want to earn money with your development, i would recommend the Professional.
If you do this just for fun or are a programming beginner, the Express Edition really is enough. If you get more professional you still can upgrade to the Professional Version at any time. Furthermore Express Edition is for free.
So if you reach the limits of the Express Edition you will notice it, don't worry.
Visual Studio Professional will let you develop for more all platforms i.e. Phone, Desktop, Store, Web etc, you will be able to use extensions and plugins and it is free.
Visual Studio Express is free but you cannot use extensions and you need one Visual Studio Express for each platform.

I use VisualStudio 2010 and olso have Visual C# 2010 Express installed on my computer.
And I have to install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, but during the instillation warning appears --
"A previous release of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 is installed on
this computer. Upgrade Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 to the SP1... "
When I tried to upgrade VS 2008 it said "There is no VS 2008 on your computer". =)
How can I solve this problem with intent using VS 2010?
At Your Own Risk
I think you need make some changes in the registry please follow these steps
1. Type regedit in run
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DevDiv
3. Find the VS or vs folder rename it to vs_1
Hopefully it will work. This what i did once.
The version numbers are different, but this appears to be your scenario:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956139
My initial advice would be "treat your MSSQL 2008 install as a fresh install". I would still suggest "Try the 'fresh install', and see how far you get."
Microsoft's advice, however, is "uninstall the version that came with MSVS first".
Do whatever you think is best.
I'd definitely take a backup first ;)

I am using Windows 7 32-bit OS. I want to install Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010.
Please share any links which provides the free full version of these softwares.
Thanks a lot for your time..
Well, you'll find all the steps explained once you buy the software packages. :)
But till then, you can download the free Express Editions as well.
I'm not sure if older versions are still available, but be careful if you're trying to download them from third party sites.

Can somebody list out the tools needed to develop for windows phone? How do I test my app apart from the emulator? Are there test phones available? I don't want to go through the installation of VS 2010 express.
You can download the test tools here (web installer).
If you don't want to use the web installer, you can download an ISO here.
You cannot test your application outside the emulator - only on the actual Windows Phone 7 device - WP7 apps run on a specific subset of .NET Framework that cannot be compared directly to any other .NET application type. The actual phone is only available to small groups of developers for testing purposes only and to Microsoft employees.
If you have a commercial version of Visual Studio 2010 installed, you don't need the Express edition.
Everything you need is at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=04704acf-a63a-4f97-952c-8b51b34b00ce&displaylang=en which includes a list of everything that gets installed. You sort of need to have some flavor of VS2010 installed.
You'll need Visual Studio 2010 and the Windows Phone 7 SDK/Tools. You can use your pre-existing Visual Studio 2010 installation, or use the bundled Express SKU. That'll install the project template and emulator into the IDE.
Once the phones have launched, you should be able to deploy to the phone, and run it there.

I've recently switched from being an employee of a small consulting company to being an independent consultant and as time goes on I will need to upgrade Windows and Visual Studio. So what is the most affordable way to go about this for a small time developer?
My previous boss suggested I get a TechNet Plus subscription for OS licenses, I've done that and appears to be what I need, but open to other options for the future.
Visual Studio I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what is the difference between Professional and Standard. Also I'd really like a digital version, but seems that expensive MSDN subscription is the only way?
Visual Studio 2008 Professional with MSDN Professional listed here appears to be semi-reasonably priced at $1,199. That would make the TechNet Plus subscription unneeded.
I recommend that if VS Express is not good enough, use Professional. Standard is missing some really useful features, like a Remote Debugger. Here is a detailed comparison:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vs2008/products/cc149003.aspx
I'd say cancel TechNet and get one of the bottom two MSDN Subscriptions, Visual Studio Professional with either MSDN Professional or with MSDN Premium.
You have the Microsoft Empower for ISV program, see https://partner.microsoft.com/40011351
Gives you a full msdn pro subscription for two years.
For non developer tools try Microsoft Action Pack
https://partner.microsoft.com/40016455
Then use Visual Studio Professional (in some exibitions you will get this for free)
For the versioning use svn and not TeamSystem
I realise that this doesn't apply to the asker but it it is relevent to the question.
Any student developers out there try Microsfts Dream Spark scheme. Visual Studio, Expression Studio, XNA and Server 2003 for free!
Office is also available to students for less than 60 bucks in Microsfts `Ultimate Steal'
I think that Visual Studio Professional with MSDN Subscription doesn't offer much value compared to just purchasing Visual Studio 2010 Pro. You get testing licenses for Windows Server and MSSQL, but that's it. And you can get by just fine without those 90% of the time.
But Visual Studio Premium with MSDN is a different story. You get access to most other server products (testing license only of course), and an Office Professional license. That's a much better value for a one-man shop in my opinion, if you can afford it.
