Is upgrading to VC ++ 7 Worth it?
-
Hi there, I'm not the kind of person to upgrade just for upgrading sake (if it's not broken, why fix it? :) ) - so is there actually any value to upgrading from VC++ 6 to VC++ 7 ? Cheers, Paul ////////////////////////////// // Paul Evans, UK. //////////////////////////////

At the moment, I'd say not. The next release looks more promising. If you have no need of the new ATL/MFC classes or the improved standards compliancy then the new VC7 isn't worth the hassle of upgrading just yet. Michael Fat bottomed girls You make the rockin' world go round -- Queen

The IDE has many problems. If possible I would wait until there is a more stable version available. Oliver

I would wait until Feburary when Visual Studio 2003 is released. It contains many new enhancements especially for C++ developers over VS7. I have heard the next version described as an upgrade for VC++ 7.0 with service pack updates for all of the rest of Visual Studio. Hope that helps.
