Comments from the Editor

Last week the Visual C++ team stopped by
the Codeguru forums to chat about C++0x, the next release of the C++
programming language. They also discussed a bit about Visual C++ 10 while
they were here. If you didn’t get a chance to stop by the forum last week,
you can still find all the threads and discussions at:

VC++
10 impact on existing code? (VC++)

C++0x
