Talk:Visual Studio

There is a difference between the Visual Studio IDE and the Visual C++ compiler. This page is labeled 'Visual Studio' but jumps directly into the limitations of the Visual C++ compiler which is a different product. The VS IDE will work with (AFAIK) every Windows or MS DOS based compiler. The IDE ships as part of VC++ and as part of other MS Visual compiler lines (C#, VB.net, J++, etc) in addition to the the express edition of compilers that can be downloaded for free. Tantrikwizard

Not quite - the article discusses how to use the combination of the IDE and the compiler. I.e. visual studio as a whole. Also, what exactly are you aiming at here? Saying something's bad doesn't help when you don't have an alternative. - Combuster 10:44, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
