Re: [boost] VC++ issues in trac [ Looking for help ]

It is a tiny bit confusing when people use "VC++ 2008" for "VC++ 8.0,"  
since that compiler is part of "VS 2005." The same goes for "VC++  
2009," which might make some Windows nerds think they missed the  
latest alpha of something ;-)

For a proper isomorphism between year-based packages and compiler  
versions, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_C++
