- > MSVC 1.x is the only MSVC compiler targeted to 16 bits, 2.0 and up are for 32-bit
- development only. I think the latest 1.x compiler is 1.53, and that 1.5 is not
- offered anymore, but you just _might_ find it in some store if you looked hard
- enough. About the prices, that depends on the reseller. The differences between MFC
- from 1.5 to 4.0 are too huge to describe here. Also, 1.x lacks templates, STL, name
- spaces... in other words: the new enhancements.
