Re: [GD-Windows] Visual C++ .Net

[Kent Q. <ken...@co...>]

You're obscuring the point. What I'm concerned about is that MS is
deciding for the rest of the industry what features the standards SHOULD
have included. The feature was added to the standard. Given that many
features people wanted *weren't* added to the standard, I have a
presumption that if it's in the standard, it's a target that compiler
vendors should strive for. 

I don't mind a vendor saying "we couldn't get that one in this time
around, but we're working on it." I do mind them saying "you don't need
that."
