Is VisualStudio 2005 the same product that is called VisualStudio 8?

When you install VisualStudio 2005, the default directory that gets created is C:\program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8. It's all very confusing.

Is VisualStudio 2005 the same product that is called VisualStudio 8?
The major build number of the product is 8.0. "2005" is the marketing term for the product. Going "Help" | "About" will give you the full real build number for the product.





BTW, 2003 was 7.1 and 2002 was 7.0 - it was 6.0 that was called "Visual Studio 98"
Reply:Yes. 2003 is 7 and 6 is just 6.
Reply:same thing.
