Everyone may download it from 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/download/ . It comes 
with IDE (nice one - this is actually Visual Studio .NET 2005 stripped
from some bells and whistles), optimizing compiler, runtime (static and 
dynamic) and standard C++ library. And also C++/CLI and .NET 2.0 (but 
maybe you do not mind). However, it does not come with Windows API 
headers and libraries. In order to compile Windows applications (and 
boost) one has to download Platform SDK separately (fat one), there is a 
link and instruction on above page.

This might be interesting news for those who want to test vc-8_0 
toolkit. Now I shut my mounth and sorry for spamming here.
