Microsoft® Visual C++ Version Information

This document lists brief descriptions of current and older MS-C++ development tools for the PC, along with notes and a brief list of features. While you may find older versions of development tools in many places, links to the old/used programming tools sales pages of EMS Professional Software, this page's sponsor, are provided for your convenience. EMS is not affiliated with Microsoft or any other vendor. All terms on this page are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation. Other Microsoft version information. Information on other vendors' products. For technical questions, we recommend you ask on the usenet newsgroup news:comp.lang.c++. Microsoft's licensing spokesperson "Rich H." told me, on 2-8-00, that anyone with a valid license to use any recent version of Visual C++ is also licensed to use any older version of Microsoft C/C++ products. I haven't heard this before, so you should confirm this for yourself. Previously, Microsoft representatives had stated that you could downgrade only two version levels.
