Yes, and it's safe to say Italy is a country. You don't make much sense. It 
seems that you're again confusing IDE, where Microsoft's is now called Visual 
Studio or VS, and compiler, where Microsoft's is called Visual C++, or MSVC.

Dunno. This has changed a lot, and nobody keeps much track. But the main way to 
do that has been to download the compiler as part of the Windows SDK.

You can find out about the history of this compiler by googling it. Or 
Wikipedia. Please google things before asking.

However, it's not necessary to google the details of one particular compiler, 
because *all* extant compilers are designed for command line usage.

The last two or five (thereabouts)  years there has been a development where the 
compilers additionally offer automation interfaces, for use in e.g. intellisense 
like things. I think that started with the GNU preprocessor but I'm not sure. 
But each such interface to the functionality is just additional, it doesn't 
replace the basic command line interface.


> But some guys will no doubt try it anyway..

I am sure that you would benefit a lot from doing that. It could help remove 
your basic confusion about IDE and compiler. I advice you to seek help about 
that in a Microsoft/Windows-specific forum though (here in clc++ we're mainly 
concerned with the use of standard C++, not with tool usage and such).
