While it doesn't directly answer your question, I'd like to offer this. Don't buy the latest version of something just because it is the latest version. Like any tool, a compiler is meant to solve a problem. Each problem has a set of requirements. If the compiler can meet each of those requirements, then that's the tool for the job. While the newer versions of Visual C++ have more bells and whistles than older versions, you have to ask yourself if those bells are whistles are "wants" or "needs."

For the past 11 years, my work has been solely governed by the clients for which we sell to. I don't have an exact date, but it was many years after Windows 95 was released, our clients were still using 16-bit Windows. The developers, myself included, were in agony because we could not update our development tools. When clients started buying new computers that came with Windows 98 pre-installed, only then did we get the go-ahead to buy and use Visual C++ v5.

Even today, I have no business reason to use anything other than Visual C++ v6. The clients that use our software are mostly Windows 98 and Windows 2000. I'm sure a handful of them are probably using Windows XP. But the biggest factor is that the EXE that our DLL hooks up with is still being compiled (by IBM) with Visual C++ v5. They might be using v6, but I can't say for sure. Any new development that they do, however, is in Java.
