asked on

what is the most popular C++ compiler on Windows now?

I need to upgrade  or rewrite a Visual C++ 6.0 application, what is the best option? Shall I use Visual C++.NET? I know in Visual Studio, I could still use MFC, but that's not an option for me. Thanks!

Upgrade to Visual Studio 2008 or minimally to Visual Studio 2005.

If money is an issue, Microsoft has an Express version of 2008 which is free.  I am not sure what it is missing, but I don't think it is missing very much.  Note that there WILL be issues when you convert your projects from 6.0 to either 2005 or 2008.
