The Visual C++ .NET 2003 release (code-named Everett) that has been released to MSDN today is perhaps the most significant and exciting release of the product since Visual C++ 4.0! Many changes have been made, resulting in a vastly different product from its predecessor. Why should you care? Well, there are important features that have been added for both unmanaged and managed code developers that illustrate a new and serious commitment by Microsoft to the C++ language. The main enhancements come in four major areas: 1) ISO/ANSI C++ Standard Compliance 2) Performance Optimizations 3) Security Enhancements 4) Managed C++ Windows Forms Designer.
