If you feel like Dr. Frankenstein you should scream: "It's Alive!" :D

Definitely no worse than me. I installed XP on a spare box yesterday
just to play Spore.

Even though I use Visual C++ for my payjob, I have never actually
made even a single CLI program with it. Let us know your experiences
in doing that.
Visual C++ might look cool and fancy, with all of its graphical user
interfaces, configuration dialogs, source file editor, context help and
whatnot, but I bet it will feel very daunting at first. There are so
many options and buttons that you might feel a bit lost. You might even
start missing the simple "g++ program.cc" way of compiling a program. ;)
Oh, and that just for creating CLI programs. You can probably forget
about creating win32 programs. The learning curve is steep. No, it's not
steep. It's a vertical wall.

At first glance, I would say: a spelling mistake.

I'm not saying it's bloated, but... EVEN THE *NAME* IS 45 CHARACTERS LONG!
Heh. Seriously. It was a 100 MB download, it took about 25 minutes to
install (most of that was just the .NET runtime...), and I now have
something open on my screen that looks very slick and... I... just want
to compile some code? o_O

Warp, that's probably the most amusing thing I've ever heard you say. I
am actually laughout out loud now! :-D

...still not found a way to compile things yet...
At this rate, I'm going to have to look in the help file. (!!) o_O

Ha. Haha. Ahahaha!
Of course, a mere "help file" would be far too easy. No, we must have an
interactive tutorial... *sigh*
(I was afraid of this!)
Ohhhohhhh... so *that's* how you make it compile?
Hmm, you really have to do stuff in *exactly* the order it wants, don't
you? Man this thing's inflexible! Oh well, at least I figured out how to
work it. Heh. Even if it *is* about as intuitive as... something... not
very intuitive... (First person to say "Haskell" gets a slap!)
Clearly this thing is designed for programs *way* bigger than "Hello
World". I can't help thinking that if Hello World is all you're trying
to write, this is massive overkill. Oh well, it's faster than running
GCC on a virtual machine! (And it has a real editor, not Nano. And I
even found out how to make it stop ****ing with my text layout!)
