Differences between vc 6.0 and vc 7.0

Answer Posted / vasanth

Visual C++ 6.0 (commonly known as VC6), which included MFC
6.0, was released in 1998[15]. The release was somewhat
controversial since it did not include an expected update
to MFC. Visual C++ 6.0 is still quite popular and often
used to maintain legacy projects. There are however issues
with this version under Windows XP, especially under the
debugging mode (ex: the values of static variables do not
display). The debugging issues can be solved with a patch
called the "Visual C++ 6.0 Processor Pack" downloadable
from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-
us/vstudio/aa718349.aspx; This page stresses that Users
must also be running Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows
2000.'

Visual C++ .NET 2002 (known also as Visual C++ 7.0), which
included MFC 7.0, was released in 2002 with support for
link time code generation and debugging runtime
checks, .NET 1.0 and Visual C# and Managed C++. The new
user interface used many of the hot keys and conventions of
Visual Basic, which accounted for some of its unpopularity
among C++ developers.
