Yes, many.  One of the main developers develops in MSVC and there are
several people who regularly compile the newest CVS stuff, most often
without any problems.

Which? All? What do you mean by invalid? Dont they load into MSVC or
dont they compile?

>Does anyone have project files that work?

I just did an update from cvs (but I didnt do a checkout from
scratch). Then I batch build everything, both in debug and release
builds. Not one error. I use MSVC 6 service pack 3.

Our projects at work are in Micro$oft Visual Source Safe.
When I get a new plib, MSVC asks whether I want to connect
plib with the version control system. Just say "no".

OT, just say no to VSS alltogether, it sometimes corrupts your
repository :-((. It happened once to us and we were just lucky we lost
nothing. On Slashdot lots of people complained about this. What worse
thing can a Source "Safe" do than eat your code?
