marco: Ben answered your question.

To have a good development experience in native C++ with VS2005 under Vista,
you need:

o Visual Studio 2005 SP1, which you can download here:

o Update for Vista:

I would also install a so-called QFE (Quick Fix Engineering) or "hotfix" for
Visual Studio 2005 SP1 IntelliSense:

(BTW: I don't understand your last question well: "if you program in native,
you don't need .NET, so: you will encounter much lesser problems, right?"
You can use VS2005 to develop both native and .NET software for Vista... )

I've been using VS 2005 on Vista since Vista was released (I think a year
ago last January) with not problems. I have set up a shortcut on my quick
link bar and set the default to Run as Administrator in the Advanced
properties screen. That way when I click that icon I always get asked if I
want to "Continue" (as is Vista's way) and it starts up VS 2005 in admin
mode. I mostly need this for doing ASP.NET programming, but it's a handy
way to not have to remember to open it that way sometimes. You could turn
off UAC, but I like getting the whole user experience. The one downside, of
course, is my applications are run elevated as well when run from the IDE so
I need to test them elsewhere as well.

Still, I never have any problems. It doesn't make VS 2005 any better
though :o)

Yes, you do need the Vista patch otherwise, if I remember correctly, it will
continue compiling the first file you try forever (well at least a very long
time before I gave up and killed it). VS 2008 doesn't have this problem
though.

I'm getting a new PC shortly with Vista so this thread is sort of topical.
Concerning the patch, when I install VS 2005, at the end there's the bit
about
updates. It will find and install sp1 for example. Will it also find the
Vista patch?

I'm not sure, I did it so long ago, but you can easily download it from
here:
