I haven't seen it as a problem with Microsoft tools. Other tools (Borland, various freeware) seem to break with some regularity when Microsoft upgrades the library format. Although I haven't heard about it for a few years now, so it's probably been stable for a while. I remember a lot of bellyaching over some DirectX SDK version a few years back... was it 7?

Maybe the fact is that the old tools are really gone. That'd be good! In that case, I'd change my statement to "the C ABI is compatible, and linkage is currently unversally compatible."

Cheers,
