With the release of a new feature pack for Visual C++ 2008, developers can now write applications that feature the Office 2007 appearance, a Microsoft senior executive announced this week.
At the same time, the company also discontinued support for its aging Visual Basic 6 integrated development environment (define), or IDE -- to the dismay of some die-hard users.
"I am pleased to announce that the Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack has shipped," S. Somasegar, senior vice president of Microsoft's developer division, said on his blog this week.
