Feeling adventurous today, I decided to give the Microsoft Visual C++ 8 / 2005 / 14 (Beta2) - whatever the version number is - a whirl.
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/visualc/default.aspx There are a number of deprecation warnings - mostly string function, probably because their vulnerable versions are used - but things compile and test quite fine (that is, no unexpected failures).
