I have a quick feedback. AFAIAC and with all due respect, Boost on the Windows side is not ready for prime time.
As an example: I registered in the BoostPro site, downloaded the installer and ran it. It looks spiffy: I got the choice to select among the myriad Windows options (DLL, multi-thread, debug, etc.). I selected "MSVC++ 2005" and yet got a hodgepodge of older and newer Visual Studio solutions. The newer ones are not recognized my IDE.
Which solutions are you referring to? You shouldn't need any to use Boost on Windows. You should just be able to use the pre-built libraries.
Having said that, I am quite impressed by the BoostPro initiative, and it is reassuring to see that the boost founders are part of it. I am sure we will see great things from them.
As I grow old^H^H^H, err- wiser, I tend not to be on the "bleeding edge". I definitely won't be among the cowboys up front fending the indians (pardon: native Americans, but armed with arrows).
The Uni*x version builds and works great, though.
