Zitat von Fredrik Lundh <fredrik at pythonware.com>:

to clarify, the guideline should be "does the new compiler version add some- thing important ?", rather than just "is there a new version ?"

In this specific case, the new thing added is the availability of Visual Studio Express. Whether this is important, and outweighs the disadvantages, I don't know.

In addition, I'm uncertain whether this is a new feature. I thought you could get the VS 2003 compiler (VC 7.1) with the .NET 1.1 SDK. But maybe I'm misremembering.

Regards, Martin
