At least for me, the term "Visual Studio" isn't
interchangeable with "Visual 
C++". Visual C++ is a part of Visual Studio, namely the
C++ compiler and 
corresponding IDE integration.

OTOH, as of Visual Studio 2005 (and perhaps earlier), it's
not possible to 
buy VC++ separately. IMHO the most correct names would be:

Visual C++ 2005      - msvc 8.0
Visual C++ .NET 2003 - msvc 7.1
Visual C++ .NET 2002 - msvc 7.0
Visual C++ 6.0       - msvc 6.0

Don't know how that works for the "general public"
though.
