Hey, when somebody starts writing "DIM" statements, *then* you can 
worry! ;-)

  I think a lenient way of interpreting "fully standards-compliant" is
that the features of the C++ standard that the compiler implements are
implemented *exactly* like the standard specifies, and there are no
non-standard extensions (or, at the very least, there's a compiler option
to make it consider using them an error).

  Many of the most modern C++ compilers implement almost all the C++98
standard features except export templates.

  Care to give a concrete example?

Spore. heh. Opinions about the game are pretty polarized. Either people 
love it or hate it. I'm in the "Love It" camp. Eats away countless 
hours. So many paths to take ...

Yeah, what Warp said. Especially for Windows programming. MFC makes the 
wall a little less vertical, but still pretty steep. Of course, Express 
doesn't have MFC, so you're stuck with the Platform SDK.

That's what .NET is for. :-)

...or you could just use Java, which is a touch more portable. (And also 
*doesn't* take 25 minutes to install.)
