Not sure how it works in VC8 but in VC7 there were several false warnings.

one example:

cout << size_t(100) << endl;

will give you a warning because the "unsigned int" overload is used to output 
the value. This could be a problem if size_t is 64 bits.

But if size_t really is 64 bits, the int64 overload would be used so there is 
no portability problem here.
