Can I use Microsoft Development Studio (a.k.a. Visual C++ 6), but replacing its awful compiler with that of Visual C++ 2005 or, even better, GCC? If so, how?

+2  A: 

If you download and install the latest windows SDKs, they should include the latest versions of cl.exe, link.exe, midl.exe, etc. You just need to point the executables path (tools->options->etc) at the new SDK dir and remove the build-in VS paths.
