Sorry, sorry... I hate it when I blow up and I hate it even more when I
blow up at the wrong person. Sorry again.

In my class this last week I saw a situation where the free VC++ express
compiler compiled a program properly where the VC++ 7.0 would not
compile the code. An other student kept having the compiler crash on a
bad piece of code. Admittedly, the code was not correct, but the
compiler crashed instead of giving a meaningful error message. 

I have to conclude that the latest generation of C/C++ compilers from MS
are buggy enough to be unsuitable for student use and maybe buggy enough
to be avoided by every one.
