WHAT!?! Who are these whiney customers and when can I kick their cans!?
Actually, I find it kind of funny that they didn''t implement unexpected() in the expected way.

You are all right : who are those customers????????
But it still prove my point : MSVC is an horrible C++ compiler.

Shouldnt that be "MSVC is a horrible compiler"?

a sounded weird, so a used an.
But MSCV is not an horrible Compiler. It is an horrible "C++" compiler.
Now to stop the rumor that I am the guru of some sort of anti-microsoft cult
I have to admit I exagerated. I find MSVC is simply sub-par compared to gcc, Kai, Codewarrior, Borland and sun workshop(those are the compilers I work/ed with). All those guys already have support for the majority of the non-compliance issue listed. I will agree that those feature do not affect too much the average C++ programmer, but if you software uses template a lot(Scientific computing with blitz) MSVC just does not cut it.

These are the same customers who wanted IE integrated into Win98, and Messenger into XP.
And Gorg, I''ll join your cult as soon as I can beat you in foosball.
