Specifically, opening the command prompt and running a simple b2 command is a lot to ask for even some moderate level windows developers (sadly).
Could you please back that up with information from a reliable source or stop talking out of your backside.
I'll be shocked in libraries built with msvc-14.0 are compatible with msvc-15.0 (toolset v141). For one, there are new C++14 features only in msvc-15.0, so they won't have been built in for libraries built with msvc-14.0. I think naming the toolset v141 was a big mistake as it seems to be about as close to v140 as v140 was to v120 (there was never a v130 toolset).
You saw what Billy O'Neal wrote: "It's an update". As to the availability of C++14 features (the ones not baked into a VS2015 boost build), I doubt that these features have a (measurable) impact to an extent that jumping up and down over the support by Boost of a not yet released version of VS is warranted. degski
