Just installed VS2005; Looks like some cool stuff here. One problem so
far:

Building parallel projects using "Multiprocessor Builds" works fine
when I choose Build or Rebuild from the Build menu (or the Solution
context menu). But it does NOT work for batch builds. Why not?
(According to the documentation --
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fzzbf06h.aspx -- it is
supposed to.)

In Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->Build and Run, I have set
the "maximum number of parallel projects" to 2. Are there any other
configuration settings that I need to apply?

The answer is: it's apparently not possible. I got this from the VS2005
Feedback Website:

"...no attempt is made to make batch builds thread safe. this is a
known problem in whidbey. the work-arounds are to 1) either not use
batch build and build each configuration separately or 2) use batch
build with only a single build thread enabled. you could automate #1
with a macro (or a build script using vcbuild.exe from the command
line). sorry! we'll be trying to address this in the next version of
VS."
