Microsoft has recently released their express version of the Visual C++.
Given that this version is free for everyone, wouldn't it make sense
to ship Python 2.5 compiled with this version ?!

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/default.aspx

I suppose this would make compiling extensions easier for people
who don't have a standard VC++ .NET installed.

Note: This is just a thought - I haven't looked into the consequences
of building with VC8 yet, e.g. from the list of pre-requisites,
it's possible that .NET 2.0 would become a requirement.
