It just occurred to me - do you suppose that Microsoft actually
uses Visual C++ for compiling their own code?

I remember a number of years ago I worked at Symantec after
it acquired Central Point.  At the time Symantec sold a C
compiler.  They had been attempting to get their internal
developers to standardize on this instead of other vendor's
C compilers.  Very few groups ever did and the ones that did
were most displeased with the result.
