Visual C++ 2008 Express

recently i found myself looking for a way to improve our development IDE.
we are still coding via vc++ 6.0 , and moving forward sound great, and might improve developer time and life.

BUT - there is no money to "spend" on not necessary product , so i looked at Visual C++ 2008 Express edition.
i immediate found that Applications using either MFC or ATL require the Standard Edition or higher , and our software using MFC.
another point is that Visual C++ 2008 Express does not include OpenMP support, 64-bit compilers, or a resource editor, about the 64 bit support you might find a solution around this in this post.

another good real life situation read this How useful is Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition for commercial use.

enjoy
