VC9 is relatively new (released this year, 1st service packin beta phase). Other projects like ICU use VC8 (I heard that Apache may move to VC8 as well). We can choose to go with VC9 but we may have to provide our own custom builds (server and libs) for too long and that's a big time consuming task. The good news is that VC8 and VC9 are very closed and sources are almost always compatible. Except some posix compliances stuff being (re)introduced like vsnprintf or limits.h, it is a matter of simply importing a project in VC9 to get a VC9 build. Note that the server 2k8 SDK (PSDK 6.0/6.1) supports VC8 and VC9. Cheers, -- Pierre http://blog.thepimp.net | http://www.libgd.org
