- I'm primarily a .Net developer and use Eclipse for C++, Java programming. Haven't heard of anyone using Eclipse for .Net development. And I didn't move away from Vista for sure!

(5 Comments)Don't know about Eclipse, but my running VC2008 shows 45 MB committed VM, with quite a lot of files open at once. VC6 shows 28 MB. While Adobe Acrobat reader shows 85MB.
