What I hear from the rumor mill (not perhaps a reliable source) is a bit discouraging about the stability of VS2005 (e.g. internal rebellion at MS in which groups which need to ship a lot of code pushed back against any attempt to make them use VS2005, and managed to win the internal fight and stick with VS2003), but I don't know if any such worry applies to something as simple as the mere compilation of C code...

As a (perhaps significant) datapoint: the Mozilla guys are moving to building with VS2005. That's lots of C++ and widely run -- though probably not the C runtime so much.
