LOL - That was really really funny...

I'm running an up-to-date operating system, and I switched to C++ 11 as soon as it became viable. I can do that because I'm an individual. Organizations move more slowly, and the bigger they are, the slower they move. It wouldn't surprise at all to see Visual C++ 6.0 still being used. Wikipedia even says, "Visual C++ 6.0 is still quite popular". -- Rainer Deyke (rainerd@eldwood.com)
