And I am glad that someone cares and tries to give input. But actually I only used MSVC, because I wasn't able to get GCC to crosscompile at that time. Now that I got that working and I found out that WINE can do some magic, too, I feel like I don't have to switch over to Windows anymore. ;) If M$ would release MSVC for Linux, I would probably use it again, as it is a IMO superior IDE...
