    While it *may* be possible, VS .NET 2003 is not supported in Vista, and you
    will almost assuredly have issues trying to use it if you manage to install
    it. My understanding is that there are major issues with the debugger, for
    starters.
    Will any of the free VS 2005 Express editions help you? They can be
    installed to work reliably in Vista?

    Argh! Last sentence above should end in a period, *not* a question mark.
    Sorry!
