I also find it odd, but we started this whole thing on Visual Studio  
6. I'm not a windows guru but I recall it had a bad STL and poor to  
non-existent support for namespaces. This of course could be just a  
made up memory based on my wary stance towards microsoft products and  
the fact that most of the developers working on it at the time were  
more comfortable in c than c++.
