At the moment Windows SDK is a better choice because it is exactly the same C compiler than the one included in VS 2005 and it is completely free.

This is a limitation of the

This is a limitation of the poll engine we are using. You should select the one you are really using. If you are still using VC++ 6.0 for compatibility with newer compiler from Microsoft, you should not check it. The goal of this poll is to see who is really using VC++ 6.0 for himself, not for others.

I have Visual Studio 2003, 2005 and the Vista SDK installed. The newest version of 6.0 appears to be using cl from the SDK. I don't know, but wonder if the compiler from 2005 would be a better choice.

I think the poll should have been a checkbox. I'm still using VC++ 6.0 as well for example.

The only 64-bit compiler

The only 64-bit compiler available for free is the Microsoft one, unfortunately we cannot redistribute it.

True, that is indeed a problem that I had not noticed. Is there a 64 bit variant of the borland compiler? MinGW might still be a replacement for Borland on the 32-bit platform (which will not go away too soon).

I guess we should give it a try, but we are looking at 64-bit C compiler and on Windows GCC is only 32-bit, at least last time I checked.

MinGW

http://www.mingw.org/ - we are already using GCC on any other platform than Windows, why not on Windows directly?
