Er, you don't think Intel is going to make the job easier for its main 
competitor, do you ? Their C++ compiler is basically a marketing tool to help 
sell Pentiums, nothing more.

When was the last time you were confronted to a Intel vs. AMD compatibility 
problem during C++ development ? The only possible way this can happen is if 
you need to write directly in assembly, like in some multimedia-oriented app 
for instance. Otherwise what's the problem ?

It offers very good compliance with the standard but it's still slow as hell.
