What are the differences between Visual C++ 6.0 and Visual C++ 2008? -


what advantages/disadvantages between ms vs c++ 6.0 , msvs c++ 2008?

the main reason asking such question there still many decent programmers prefer using older version instead of newest version.

is there reason might prefer older on new?

well, 1 thing may because executables built msvs 6 require msvcrt.dll (c runtime) shipped windows now.

the msvs 2008 executables need msvcrt9 shipped them (or installed).

plus, have lot of oss libraries compiled windows 32 bit 6.0 c runtime, while 2008 c runtime have take source , compile them yourself.

(most of libraries compiled mingw, uses 6.0 c runtime - maybe that's reason).
