Umm.. Are you using the same Visual C++ i'm using? I'm very pleased with it..

I'd like to pick apart your critique on a number of counts:

1) Resources: 

Yes, Visual C++ requires lots of space *IF* you install everything.. The setup
program allowed you to selectively install various modules and leave others 
out, thus nullifying your problems with HD space..

Re: RAM. This is after all a fully integrated visual development environment, 
therefore it makes sense that it would require a substantial amount of memory 
considering the amount of 'hand holding' that it does.

2) Strange Errors:

You say you got a linkage err #3 when trying to compile a "Hello World" type
of program? I never encountered any such problems and have gone through all
the examples, not to mention developed some simple apps of my own (including
"Hello World" in a quickwin window).

I can honestly say I haven't encountered any 'strange' errors with the product
when using it in simple programs like you mention..

I would be *very* curious indeed to hear *exactly* what you did to generate
that error..

I personally feel that VC++ is the *ideal* beginners tool since it allows one
to focus on the problem at hand and not worry about such things as command
line arguments/options, special linker options, etc..

Just my two cents :)
