Visual C++

Hi all! I am brand new to programming, and I''ve been spending a lot of time lately to surf sites like this one... just to get an idea for what language I should go for etc. I think C++ is the language I''m leaning towards, but I still have one major question that I''d like to have answered; Why is nobody talking about MS Visual C++? I thought that would be a super cool tool for anybody who''s a creative person and is more into design than programming, but I never ever see it mentioned on this website or any other site like this one... I dunno... please let me know what you think about Visual C++! Thanx!

Where did you get VC.NET compiler? I dont think it is for sale yet and it would surprise me if MS allowed for a free upgrade. Or is it a beta version from some magezine like MSDN mag?

.NET Beta 2.

I love the .NET IDE - it''s much more multi-monitor friendly than the VS 6 IDE. Plus, even if you''re pressed for screen space, you can have all those extra tabs slide out of the way when you''re not using them.

I can''t wait until the release the final version, so I can start using it full-time!
