[Dev-C++] Dev C++/Visual C++ comparison

[Bob W. <bo...@af...>]

I'm currently at university doing a comp. sci. course, and they've 
recommended we get out hands on the student version of Visual C++. This 
of course costs money that I'd rather not spend.

Up until now, I've been working in Dev C++ for all the assignments 
they've set, however I was wondering if there is any major functional 
differences between the two (I doubt we'll do anything requiring a GUI 
this semester, and next semester we use CodeWarrior on Linux), apart 
from the price difference, what benefits does Dev have over Visual? I'm 
gonna need to pass this by the lecturers and I'd like to have *some* 
idea of what I'm talking about :)

Thanks.
