I'm running an up-to-date operating system, and I switched to C++ 11 as 
soon as it became viable.  I can do that because I'm an individual. 
Organizations move more slowly, and the bigger they are, the slower they 
move.  It wouldn't surprise at all to see Visual C++ 6.0 still being 
used.  Wikipedia even says, "Visual C++ 6.0 is still quite popular".
