June 15, 2012Jun 15, 201206/15/12We recently announced the Visual Studio 2012 product lineup and platform support, and as a part of this announcement we mentioned that we were evaluating options for enabling C++ developers to build applications in Visual Studio 2012 that run on Windows XP without requiring side-by-side installation of Visual Studio 2010.
June 14, 2012Jun 14, 201206/14/12Hello, I’m Pat Brenner, a developer on the Visual C++ Libraries team.

Several people responded to that post asking for a list of bugs that have been fixed in MFC for Visual Studio 2012.
June 12, 2012Jun 12, 201206/12/12In case some of you missed it, Soma recently announced Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop development. This express edition will include the latest VC++ compiler and libraries, which is great for students, new developers and open source application developers.
June 1, 2012Jun 1, 201206/1/12The C++ organization is growing and hiring across all feature areas (C++ 11, compiler front-end, compiler back-end, C++ AMP, PPL, libraries & runtime, IDE, Casablanca). We are looking for passionate program managers, developers and testers to bang out the next versions of the toolset!
