In general, smaller and faster code is a decent bet. For those who use VC7
already, an easier life. "Move" implies abandoning VC6, though, and I don't
think that's a realistic possibility now -- although over time it's
inevitable (VC6 is akin to Python 1.5.2 now: beloved by some but
unsupported by all <wink>).
