The chrome.sln won't be upgraded for a long time. I mean, it won't happen for 2008 unless we'd have a strong incentive. In theory, chrome.sln will be deprecated by the SCons build so it won't matter at that point which version of Visual Studio is installed. Making Chromium compatible with VS2008 should be achieved within 2 month. > Similarly, if you can find a work around for the ATL situation, such > as documenting a third party solution, you will open opportunities for > more developers.

Thanks for your suggestion. Keeping in mind that the Windows platform in not free in any sense. If you ever done large scale projects on Windows, you know there isn't many options; as for the Mac port that requires Apple products. Alternatively, the linux port is free from any proprietary tool. Please search the archives for the many relevant discussions.
