[LLVMdev] VC++: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h':No suchfileor directory

[Henrik Bach]

Hi Jeff and Morten,

I was just wondering if below wisdom is true, why not prefix every solution 
and project file with VC71 in front of the file name to signal the case that 
it is only designed for that specific IDE/tool?

This gives us room for comming up with other solution and project files for 
another MS specific IDE/tool independt of each other.

Henrik.

Groan...  it's bad enough they keep breaking backwards compatibility, but 
what's much worse is that the upgrade is never 100% correct.  Builds are 
broken in subtle and hard to track down ways.  It's why VS upgrades get put 
off for as long as possible.  I won't even think of upgrading to Whidbey 
until several years after its release.
