Microsoft Visual C++: 10 Is the New 6
-
From the vc++ blog: Get more done. The next version of Visual C++ is all about improving developer productivity for large-scale applications. Learn about the IntelliSense and browsing experiences, changes to the project and build system, project-less browsing, collaboration through remote symbol indexing, and custom visualization of symbolic information. ... Yes, "10 Is The New 6" refers to the IDE, not to the compiler and libraries. The compiler and libraries have steadily improved from VC6 to VC7.0 to VC7.1 to VC8 to VC9 (to VC9 SP1, with TR1 and MFC goodies!), and I like to say that "10 Is Greater Than 9". After PDC, we'll have VCBlog posts explaining the new compiler and library features in great detail. So a return to a more v6-like IDE, which everyone seemed to love. Too bad it's taken 7-8 years to get there.
