Yes. they should have released a VS7 upgrade to VS6 and left the .NET stuff to a
separate product. Of course, this would mean that nobody would be forced to
install .NET which I think goes against the idea MS has to force everyone down
this path.

There is a good feature in VC7 which I found when I ran one of my programs
through it the other day which was reporting local stack corruption on exitting
a function (I was adressing beyond the end of a local array).

I cannot use VS7 for real work however. I get sick of watching an hour-glass
cursor when I press F3 to get the next occurrence of a Find. And why does VS7
build the project modules in reverse alphabetical order ?
