Visual C++ 6 and Windows Vista

Hey Guys, This might sound like a silly question but does Visual C++ 6 run on Windows Vista? May faithful Win2K laptop is starting to die and I need a replacement and it looks as though I might be stuck with Windows Vista. Best regards Danny

Yes, I know it does. But, why would you stick with such a bad C++ compiler ?

VC 6 works fine on Vista, I use it daily.

Same here, works fine (although I have not used VC6 for anything really complex on Vista).

I agree that MSVC6 sucks but not everyone can upgrade on a whim. We still use MSVC6 where I work and will only upgrade when the "powers that be" decide. I'm not holding my breath.

what is so bad about VC6? is this something that only a "heavy duty" coder would notice, or is it something that even a quick and nasty dialog programmer would want to think about? What would be a better option?

VC7, VC7.1 or VC8. VC6 is very non conformant to the standard and the STL implimentation is plain terrible.
