last version of Visual Studio w/ VC++ is 6.0, SP6

it is "no longer supported", but lots of folks still use it. It does work
fine w/ XP SP2. The last Platform SDK that "supports" VS 6 is the Feb
2003 release. The newest PSDK supports .Net 2003 only. [Likewise, the
last MSDN that integrates w/ VS6 is the Oct 2001 release].

Latest VC++ product is Visual Studio .Net 2003. It is centered around
..Net, but it can still build projects "the old way". The environment is
much improved, tho some still prefer VS6. You can install BOTH on an XP
SP2 system and they will not interfere with each other (research and
understand how to do this before trying tho!).

Visual Studio .Net 2005 is in beta and is available for evaluation.
