Don't worry, MSVC has been droped back in 2004 or so when it failed to compile 
kdelibs/kate/ interfaces, IIRC due to lack support for "partial template 
specialization". No service pack will fix this.

The minimum for MSVC is 2003 version (aka .NET), this is the one I use.

I've seen this last week for sure but forgot the URL. Let's grep 
planetkde.org...(?)
