Is this in the standard (approx$100) version or the professional version. I believe the standard version doesnt have an optomizer built in. It says on the box thats one of the benefits of upgrading to the pro version.
I got my vc++6 std. for $35us back in ''98 with the rebate deal ms was having but the 2003 edition w/optimizer for $100 sounds like a very nice deal. They''ve also included forms designer that everyone complained about missing in previous version. My hat is off to ms as they seem to be aligned with programmers, they even mentioned boost and loki stuff, very nice of them. I''m impressed.
