In the (not sure how likely) case Microsoft releases 10 minor releases 
with the major version number 14 we'll be in an awkward position if we 
name the current VS release 14.10 - we'll have another release that is 
supposed to be 14.10.

I think, 141 tag makes more sense, and also is more useful given that it 
matches PlatformToolsetVersion env. variable.
