Visual Studio .NET 2003 vs. MSVC 6
Do what I did...
Download the Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 from Microsoft for free, and replace the old binaries and libraries with the downloaded ones.
You have all the benefits of a MUCH better compiler and linker, and can still use the decent IDE that comes with Visual Studio 6.
Best of all, you save yourself 100 bucks.

IMO the IDE is a very good reason to upgrade to VS.Net, it''s far superior to the VS 6 one.
Also remeber you need a decent computer to run the new version since it''s such a resource hog not to mention a modern windows OS. Then again what respectable programmer would still be using windows me to develop?
Does Visual Studio .NET 2003 work on Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me) operating systems?
A.
These platforms are not supported at design time. This decision was made to ensure that you would be able to benefit from the most advanced platform features available today. For code execution, Microsoft Windows 98 and later editions are supported
