I noticed an article on /. reporting that Microsoft is now giving away
their C++ compiler:
Microsoft Learn: Build skills that open doors in your career
Maybe a boon to simplifying Ruby builds? At least making it
available
to people who don’t have a copy of VC++.
The release is only for Win2k and upwards.
True but it does address one thing that was missing from the previous
release of their c++ compiler, namely optimizations. The thing to do is
take the best of both worlds and combine the two installs (the previous
Microsoft SDK & the c++ toolkit). What I have tried so far works well
and compiles Ruby without any problems.

I think we should drop support for MS-DOS based program loaders (no i'm
not going to call them operating systems).
