In addition to what Paul and Jeremy said, I find it a shame for other
reasons. VC6 was just a horrible compiler, with a horrible standard
library implementation. Upgrading will give you much more than just
being able to compile and use OSG 2.x, including using multiple cores
for compilation, better optimization, better debugging, a *much* more
standards-compliant STL/Standard C++ Library implementation, etc.
2 years is a long time in computing. Just look at how far OSG has come
in 2 years, and try to predict where it will be 2 years from now. The
more you put off following new versions of your tools, the harder the
upgrade will be (but then again, it doesn't pay to be reckless with
upgrades either, I'm just advocating a balanced approach).
My own 0.02$.
