Hello,
I was installing the microsoft compiler VC++ 2005 express edition once I've read it is free of charge. During the installation it connected to the microsoft site to download it. The message during the download said that it was downloading .NET platform and other stupid things that I do not want (I've unchecked them) for a total of 91 MB! I stopped everything.
Please let me ask you:
1) if in order to get the compiler I really need to download 91 MB of rubbish or at the end it download only a part of it.
2) the MS compiler has some advantage with respect the Mingw one I'm currently using.
