What does that mean? C++0x features are useful in real-world scenarios - you can now "move" objects instead of copying them (think returning large objects from functions, or adding them to containers). Also there is nullptr keyword which helps avoid silly overloading bugs when NULL is passed. And additions to the Standard Library? Regex, hash containers, Unicode support? Parallel Patterns Library? Windows 7 support for MFC? See here for more[^].

Of course, you can always say "I don't care for any of that", but it still does not mean there are no improvements.

VC++ 2010 is the first release since VC++ 7.1 I am really excited about. In fact, I may even get ViEmu[^] when it is ready and start using Visual Studio for coding again Smile | :)
