Me too, installed, but for now I got issues with some boost code (I'm using boost trunk, which is not a good idea).

I went to get it yesterday, but my college's dreamspark/msdnaa was acting up. I'll have to wait until monday for them to hopefully resolve it. On tuesday I should have my Surface Pro 2, I'll try out both compiling and running ogre on it. :)

I think I read somewhere there is no need to uninstall RC.. just install the RTM.
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me

Yes that's usually the case with RC -> RTM I have had beta on this box as well so this may be the reason (.NET 4.5.1 is failing on install) Doing it the slow way removing each bit on it's own then installing RTM again.

After removing .net 4.5.1 the installer started working properly. Something must have got messed up at some point :)

Until M$ can make a competent looking UI, I see no reason to fork over cash to upgrade from my vs2005 and XP pro 64-bit...

The only reason to upgrade is C++11/14 support. But then again, I can get that for free on any linux system.

And although the new debugging stuff looks decent it's still not better than valgrind. On top of its lack of awesomeness you still have to deal with crappy monochrome UI.

I'm downloading the Express edition now. Really excited to start messing with C++11.

Variadic templates are totally worth it.

bronzebeard, mingw and clang are subtilly broken on windows, vc is still the easier to use on this plateform (if you don't really need absolutely all c++11 features).
Also, I don't know for others but I'm using BizSpark program so I don't have to pay. I think I'll switch to clang in a few years though, when it supports windows well and I once I did the work of making sure my project work with it too.
