:-) 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.
