Is Visual Studio 2010 RC ready for production? [closed]

Question

Regarding to this post, can visual studio 2010 RC ready for production

I know there is already a duplicate question here, but that was asked when beta were available.

Answer 1

RC is release candidate... means if no major crashers are reported this will be the build that would go out for production. Thus, you may use it at your own risk. But, per Microsoft, do NOT use it for production.

Answer 2

I work for a .NET component vendor (Syncfusion, Inc). We work for long cycles on pre-release code and have been very happy with Visual Studio 2010 RC. We had no trouble moving our code over. IDE integration features worked perfectly. It is a sweet upgrade especially if you are working with WPF, Silverlight or ASP.NET MVC. I would certainly say that Visual Studio 2010 RC is ready for prime time.

Answer 3

I wouldn't start building a mission critical application using .NET 4.0 just yet. I'd use it to see some of the new features and get comfortable with it [as microsoft always love to move things around].

This is an entirely new runtime they've built, so it's a much bigger chance than 2.0 to 3.5.

So, basically, don't bet your career on it just yet but definitely use it.
