For me the naming does not appear that homogeneous, I have:

Visual Studio 6.0       -> msvc 6.0
Visual Studio .NET      -> msvc 7.0
Visual Studio .NET 2003 -> msvc 7.1
Visual Studio 2005      -> msvc 8.0

Visual C++ .NET 2005 is not correct. Since 2005 MS removes
the .NET name 
because of confusion by the customers.
