When 4GB is just not quite enough
Microsoft is to drag veteran code wrangler Visual Studio kicking and screaming into the modern world with a 64-bit version. It has been a while coming. Visual Studio dates back to the last century and started out life as Visual Studio 97 (replete with the likes of J++) before version 6.0 turned up to round out the 1990s. Microsoft stuck with naming by year thereafter (aside from a brief dalliance with slapping everything with the. NET moniker at the start of this century). Which brings us to Visual Studio 2022 and one of the larger overhauls for the suite, not least of which is the long-awaited move to a 64-bit application. The announcement of the impending preview comes in the month that a preview of a 64-bit client for OneDrive was also announced. Visual Studio fans have, however, been waiting quite a bit longer for their platform to make the migration.
