Hi,
	I would like to say that for by BSc Com Sci project I used Visual C++
using the MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) etc. I think the first line
of my conclusion in my project report was 

"I should have used GNU C on a Sun Spark in an x-term. " (Unix)

The MFC stuff is all bollocks! It looks like it has nice functions to
save you time and do nice things but it's convoluted crap! Ever seen the
helllo world code with it? It's stupidly big.

I think the IDE+debugger is nice (better than CodeWarrio IMO). I use it
for OpenGL dev at the mo, which luckily uses no Microsoft stuff :)
