I know there's been a lot of exploration on this topic, as yes, being able to use just the free MS SDK and the free Visual Studio versions would make it very nice. Unfortunately, the free version of VS is actually _very_ different than the Professional version, and not just the compiler itself (which, has a whole 'nother set of bugs unique to it...).
I don't recall any such data on bugs. It is supposed to be the same compiler, with the same optimiser. Should be bug for bug compatible to the extent the functionalities overlap. If you have data to the contrary could you share it? -phil.
