Q: 

Visual Studio 2005 and Windows SDK 6.1 (Server 2008)

I am trying to figure out how Visual Studio 2005 and the Windows SDK 6.1 integrate in a command line build environment (if at all). I am mostly interested in x64 development, but also just in how these two packages fit together.

Is it possible/advisable to use the compiler and linker from Visual Studio 2005 and the headers/libraries from the newer Windows SDK 6.1?

Also, is it possible to use the devenv command (part of VS2005) in the Windows SDK 6.1 build environment?
