That's the problem I see, personally. I have VC6 because my employer uses Visual Studio for Visual Basic development. But VB has changed so much in the transition to .NET, that I don't believe they will ever going to VS7. So I will have to remain with VS6 (I'm never going to buy VS7 myself, just for this sort of job).

I must say that anecdotally, I find this to be true. Developers are not flocking to VC7. I wonder if that fact has anything to do with MS offering free compilers?

Maybe we could get 100 free versions out of them

Mark.
