Support C99

[quote]C99 is almost 10 years old. Many projects are beginning to rely on C99, and dropping Windows support as a result.[/quote]

[quote]Thanks for taking the time to send us your suggestion. Currently, there are no plans to implement C99 support in VS2010. Once we complete this product cycle, we will be reviewing all customer suggestions, including this one, for our future planning.

Thanks,

The difference here is that GCC is trying to get C99 support done, and actually has much of it implemented (at least much more than MSVC does), while MS is basically "WONTFIX, use C++ instead."
