Microsoft Visual C++ Compilation Error

[xoft]

I personally use the MSVC 2008 Express IDE because it's lightning fast. The MSVC 2010 is terribly slow, but it produces slightly (marginally slightly) better code. For me, the 0.5 % increase in code performance is not worth the slowness of the IDE.

MSVC 2012 doesn't run under WinXP and cannot produce code that runs under WinXP, so it's out of question.
