Microsoft can already blow the socks off of Lattice!  I wouldn't
worry too much about bugs.  I know of several people who have written
LARGE systems with the MSC already and have also ported code from UNIX
with it and had NOOOOO PROBLEMS!  This is the most complete 'C' compiler
on the market today and Microsoft is really bringing their whole line
of development tools together.  Microsoft has some real Unixteers working
on there compiler which is evident.  If you have come to expect performance
from a 'C' compiler from a Unix point of view, you will be pleasantly
accommodated by Microsoft.

I personally hate Lattices' attitude tord 'C' and Unix!  IE.! - try
using there so-called MAKE utility.  It is simply stated ... a joke!
Lattice continues to provide all of it's users with so many bugs (new
ones at that) upon each release.  What a great bargin.

The bugs that may exist in the Microsoft compiler will never be confronted
by the above average programmer and/or software project!  Go ahead -
beat the heck out of it ... if you can!
