Given that you explicitly require version 6.0 in target requirements, this is 
an expected result. If you want 6.0 to be default version, you need to put 
that to default build:

   exe test 
       : main.cpp 
       : # no requirements
       : <toolset>msvc
         <toolset-msvc:version>6.0
       ;
