All possibly true, except that Windows NT came out in 1993 (early 90's), not late 90's.

As I recall, they tried to do that. That's why there was such a long delay between XP and Vista.
In the end, they had to drop a load of new features (eg: WinFS[^]) because there wasn't enough time to finish them. They ended up rushing out Vista without giving hardware manufacturers time to update their drivers, which led to hardware compatibility problems, which led to lots of negative press and poor sales.

I may be pointing out the obvious - if this is a new install of VS2008, did you remember to install the service pack, and any update published after that? Even though it's old, it still needs to be patched...who knows, maybe the issue you've encountered has been fixed after the initial release...

VS2008 has all service packs, etc. Joe (see below) mentioned if it's coming from eVC++ forget it (his words). He is correct.
Silly me. About the only way I would recommend migrating code from eVC++ is to create a stub project in VS2008 and manually add files to the project. I'm in the process of doing this now (yeah me, Sat 0600), and I hope it works.
Then there is the issue of the OEM WEC7 build, but that's not on Microsoft. I hate "how hard can it be?" projects that turn into death marches.

I know this doesn't help but when I had to "move up" my code converted and compiled with virtually no issues. It was just Hello World plus some more code but.

Where did the code come from?
If you're updating from eVC, forget it. Updating any solution from VC++ 6.0 never really worked, nor from VS 2008 to 201x. I've had few problems with updating 201x solutions, but for everything else I've always found it better to create a brand new solution.

bingo, yes it's coming from eVC++

Neither, they tend to alternate.

It is indeed, it seems to have sparked a lot of interest.

Neither since both are adjacent. Mathematicians prefer SOHCAHTOA with cheese and bacon.

Either, as long as they're watching it from Sine city.

Neither, they cancel each other out.
