I use(d) that to make release. For development I use MSVC 5 (Learning Edition), because it has much faster compile times and a much better debugger. Sooner or later I will switch to a less archaic compiler version (likely the free 8.0), but since I now use Linux as the main development platform, I am not feeling the urge to do so. I haven't checked recently, but I believe that ActiveState still uses MSVC 6 to build their binary releases, so you need MSVC 6 to build XS modules, because MSVC 7/8 uses a different C runtime.
