If you need MS's official line, you might want to check their
Knowledge 
Base on their web site.

My memory is that VC++ 6.0 SP3 actually works on simpler member
templates, but fails on more complex cases.  But they aren't
supported, so don't bother to send in a bug report if a member
template doesn't work right.  Or something like that.
