MS VISUAL C++
VC.NET is VC 7.0, ergo it''s newer. I personally am neutral between the two, but that''s probably because I don''t develop massive projects or use all the features of the IDE. VC 6 is probably cheaper now, if that has any effect on things (though the Standard Versions of either will probably cost you 90-100 USD each).
I use VC.NET for all my coding, but if I hadn''t gotten it cheap, I''d still be merrily hacking away on VC6. It''s a matter of wherewithal and personal preference.
Peace,

Are you a beginner? There really isn''t any reason to buy either version then. Buy one of those "teach yourself Visual C++ in xx days" books and get the Learning Edition on the CD. If you then decide to go on with C++, you can purchase a more advanced (and more expensive) compiler/IDE.
If you''re not a beginner, then I''d recommend MSVC.Net simply because it has better out-of-the box standards compliance and IntelliSense - both still nowhere near perfect.

The "best" is whichever best suits your needs. What are your needs?

I don''t know if anyone''s told you this, but computer games *are* software.

I hear that an upcoming, updated version of VC++.NET will have vastly improved standards compliance, quoted as 98% as opposed to 90%, and apparently MS claims that it will be compliant enough to compile the boost and Loki libraries, among other things. I just wonder how expensive this version will be, and when it''ll be released ...?

It answers the "when", and the "what", to some extent.

I have no clue how much the updated version as a whole will be but if you allready have VS.NET then the upgrade will be about $30 but only for a limited time. As for the standards compilence it is what they say it is very much better as for those specific libraries I don''t know, I''ve never tried to use them but it does work with FMOD :D
