Q: I was looking at getting Visual Studio Enterprise (can not go wrong by getting something that has more support than I need!). Unfortunately, even in academic awards, it is CAN $ 500 and get out of my league. Similarly, VC + + Enterprise is $ 300, Pro $ 150 . too expensive (maybe not Pro!). But VC + + standard is $ 70. My question is, what are the differences between VC + + Standard / Pro / Enterprise (Ent detailed differences . not only is better than Pro is better than standard please!)? Also . I look at what might or might use Borland Metrowerks CodeWarrior? Give me your opinion about the IDE (what you want) and the compilers (how they compare performance wise). Thanks in advance.

Inside The Groove: Keys To Becoming A Successful Studio Drummer
Re:VC++ has the ability to plug in different Compilers, for example, you can plug in INtels Compilers that do very nice optimizations for Pentium Pros (MMX) PIII's (SSE) and P4's(SSE2) but those alone are quite pricey.
(Intels Version 5 C++ compiler with SSE2 Support is $399 last i checked)
My Visualization
Re:guy,
That's what I didn't want to hear. I really want an optimized compiler as I'm a performance freak…of course, I guess I'd be better off just getting VC++ and then purchasing Intel's compiler right?

The Potent Visualization Technique
Re:I believe the standard version may not have an optimizing compiler. As for using other tools with the IDE, one possibility adding the program to the 'Tools' menu. I did this with 'make' when I was doing some palmpilot stuff with cygwin's gcc. I simply added 'make' to the tools menu, and could just run it, and it would build my app. The output of the make and other 'Tools' gets outputted in the same little window as the normal compiler's output.
There maybe other ways, but I'm not aware of them. I suppose somebody could make a plugin for GCC or something.
Land Development Model – An Appraisal & Valuation Tool
Re:There could be a way to do that (in fact I think there is), but I don't know how to do that. Sorry
All, I know that both compiler and linker are external modules, so you should be able to replace them easily.Get A Membership Site ~ Visual Step-by-Step Guide
Re:Thanks guy…just a quick question about VC++. Can I use the IDE with different compilers (i.e. Borland or GCC)? I think I read somewhere that MS VC++ has different pre-processor directives and other things that makes portability between compilers difficult.

Developing Intimacy
Re:Standard comes just with IDE and compiler. Both pro and enterprise come with a bunch of extra tools, like InstallShield creator, process viewer, etc… Unless you plan on doing some fancy stuff, standard should be enough for you.
Visualization The Secret Key
Re:Forgot to add that I'm using Windows 2000 Pro and have been doing dev work in emacs for win32 and using cygwin's g++ compiler. All in all, it's a pretty horrible development environment if you ask me.
