No, but if I had learnt about boost three years ago, we might well be using some of the more established and stable boost libraries.  shared_ptr and array spring to mind.

These days there is very little development of the VC5 code.  We are not likely to add boost to it know.  

My points are:
- I am sure there are a number of significant projects still actively using VC6.5
- Such projects are unlikely to want to switch to a new version of boost.
- There is no particular reason new libraries should worry about supporting VC6.5 and good reason not to worry about it (it takes precious developer resource).  If it happens to work that's great, it not, tough.
