Hi Jürgen, Do you know what are the benefits of using VC 2010? Is Blender faster? If there are no benefits for the end user, I don't see a reason to switch.
Regarding CUDA, I really hope nVidia will release a new Toolkit soon, which brings some improvements and support for VC 2012, this would be great.
