Average Rating: 
Rating:  - C# .NET best of breed if you are a Windows shop
C# .NET is an easy transition for either a C++ or Java programmer. After crashing and burning on every Visual Basic Project I've ever worked on, this is a refreshing change. Its fast and easy - I only wish that it were an open standard. The code I've written in it and used as pseudo-code ported back to linux with only a few changes and wrappers.
Rating:  - Great C++ compiler
For the price, you can't beat it. Great for making programs while taking a C++ class. Haven't had any problems with the compiler.
Rating: - Excellent value!
While Visual C++ Professional is a better choice for those needing to build optimized production code, Standard Edition 2003 rates 5 stars for the price.
This product is targeted at students. Hence the low price and lack of an optimizing compiler.
That said, here are some reasons a professional developer on a tight budget might still want to buy this product:
- Can be used for many projects where compiler optimization is not critical or even relevant: prototyping, ... Read More
Rating:  - Thank you all
I was going to buy a game dev SDK and it required VC++ 2003. Thanks to these reviews I will forget the whole thing and use Dev C++ which is free (and I already use) and use open source game components like Ogre.
Rating: - Bad and Slow
You can download this product for free, including the 2005 edition. Despite this fact the VC++.net compiles code that is about 1000 times slower than their visual studio compiler, even after optimizations are turned on (g1-g7.cpp). Even funnier is the fact that when I turn on SSE2 optimizations on their visual studio product, their floating point code test sample (gl-g7.cpp) runs slower on my Pentium 4 2.4 GHz machine (SSE2 enabled) than with the optimizations turned off. Nice advertisement for their optimizing ... Read More
