That's odd: because that is around the same time I gave it a shot too. I did not have trouble with any debugging or getting info from the code at runtime. I even found the watch expression to be working well!.
funny that we have the exact opposite experience with Eclipse CDT and VS2008. Btw: when you switched from 2005 to 2008 weren't you unpleasantly surprised with the compile time of the C++ Code? ours increased by a factor. luckily the/MP switch can help as long as you don't use COM:-/
I'd like to claim the exact oposite of what you are claiming. The Intellisense (intellinonsense / intellisenseless) get worse for C++ with every release of Visual Studio. For 2005 it was workable but 2008 is completely backwards. I fear what they did with it in VS2010. If I use boost for instance VS doesn't know how to begin with providing me the first bit of information in intellisense relating to boost. even worse: it stops "intellisensing" for other code i've written completely!
To make intellisense work for us with C++ we use the Visual Assistant plugin. And for C# we also use resharper: this adds all the eclipse niceness to Visual Studio except the "find types". That great feature is still missing, or I haven't located it yet. However this make Visual Studio need 2 plugins to work well.
Perhaps if you check out a recent version of CDT all the proplems you mentioned are gone: CDT seems to be a very active project. I had no problems with debugging in eclipse CDT with GDB (after spending countless hours getting it to work with KDevelop)
So for now I can only recommend Eclipse CDT as IDE for Linux C++ app development (having only checked out Kdevelop and Eclipse CDT)
Why should all of these law enforcement agencies go through all these troubles? Why not just go to the telco and ask them nicely, I know that some countries (The Netherlands for instance) only give out GSM licenses to telco's who are willing to record all of the conversations done on their network. Law enforcement agencies must have Access to this database. I'm sure The Netherlands isn't the only country with this kind of "license restriction". The stuff needed for this type of eavesdropping is expensive and I think in most countries irrelevant.

This story ran a while back on /.
8 25 6&mode=nested&tid=172
it thought it is a design flaw
like the kind you mentioned.

so windows is flawed by design, in my opinion at least.
mmmhhhh xenon
