- There is no difference between regular C++ and visual C++ per se.
- Visual C++ is in fact one version of "regular" C++. Visual C++
- is just the product name for Microsoft's C++ compiler product
- along with its accompanying development environment. The "visual"
- part of the product name is Microsoft's assertion that it's
- development environment is wizzy and visually oriented. This is
- certainly true compared to compiler products of several years
- ago. However, one could argue that Borland's environment is just
- as wizzy and visual as Microsoft's (maybe others as well). I'm
- sure there are C++ compilers for the Mac, but I'm not a Mac user
- so I can't recommend one. Good luck.
