Not having optimizations in C# is not really a big loss; the difference in
performance is negligible in these early days. The Mono compiler
(www.go-mono.org) is a viable alternative that works on Windows and Linux.

C++, on the other hand, is a different story. My take on it is to NOT
upgrade to VS.NET; wait until VS.2003 is available. VC++ 7 is still
horribly broken with regards to ANSI compliance; the 7.1(2003) version is
the one with the big, big changes. Among other things, a compliant standard
library and the ability to compile Boost and Loki as-is.

As for other compilers, you have loads of choices. Free choices include gcc
and Borland (without IDE). gcc 3.2 has excellent ANSI compliance, last I
checked.
