    It's about time, but kudos to MS for getting it going

    Although, most of the issues with buffer overruns are the fault of using C-like code rather than C++...

    Looks like a bunch of crap to me.

    ISO/ANSI C++ Standards Compliance
    For some reason, I highly doubt that this will come complete and not very buggy.

    Many of Microsoft's core products have been and are built with C++, and the language has been central to Microsoft. Regrettably, Standard C++ has not been.
    ***? Is he saying what I think he's saying?

    New features include Partial Template Specialization, Partial Ordering, Member Template Definitions, and much more.
    Good job. Too bad Microsoft has already driven everyone away from templates.
    On the other hand, look here: http://www.comeaucomputing.com

    Microsoft has added the /GS compiler option.
    Hi? It's available in VC++ 7, which has been out for like a year now.

    Partial Template Specialization
    even though I came up with a workaround since VC6

    not sure what you thought, but it seemed like Microsoft didn't care much about standard compliance.

    The only thing I actually care about now is the optimations, if VC++.NET2k3's compiler is going to optimise better than VC7, then its certainly going to be useful.
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    Oh, I misread it, and thought he meant it is regrettable that Standard C++ has not been under Microsoft control, which is clearly not regrettable and quite relieving
