We are starting a number of production cms driven sites and want to go with Umbraco.
The latest version 4.5 looks really great both in features and performance!
However our development would quite likely be in vs2008 building user controls (not too up on xslt) running in production environments running windows server 2003 / IIS6 / SQLExpress / .NET 3.5.
We could install .NET 4 in production, but can't obviously do any user control development for .NET 4 using vs2008.
I don't see us needing to do any custom umbraco builds. However as mentioned I do see us doing quite a few user controls versus xslt due to the complexity and our better knowledge of user controls.
umbraco 4.5 is most stable release ever, and quite some people are already running production sites on this release, so no reason not to use that version. But if you'd like to run it on 3.5 you should download a modified web.config so your umbraco 4.5 runs in .net 3.5 (=2.0 clr)
new prod sites - go 4.5 or earlier 4.x version?

So what's the best Umbraco version to go with?
Thx!

Check codeplex for the modified 3.5 web.config.

You could use the .net 3.5 build of Umbraco 4.5 which you can find here:

That's likely what we'll do is use the 3.5 build. Thanks Matt.
