I am utterly baffled as to what "they" are thinking at Microsoft. This is one time they have really flipped their collective lids. Releasing SP6 was bad enough, but this "piece of work" they call VC4 is completely uncalled for.
"They" are working hard on alternatives - Visual Studio .NET 2005 will be able to generate machine code (several processors) for Windows CE from C or C++ sources - without .NET, but with support for C++ standard library, Windows CE API and MFC (yuck). It will be also able to compile CLI (.NET) for Windows CE, but it does not matter here. I do not know if this code will be actually generated by MSVC8, or some other compiler in the bundle. B.
