> Out of curiosity I downloaded the VS 2013 Pro preview yesterday.

> I needed to tweak the sources a bit because MSVC 12 seems to break se things as M$ implements more C++11 features. It took me 30 Minutes to put a patch together.
> But all the libs I compiled with VC11 need to be recompiled :(

> Shall we adapt new versions if MSVC early (even if we don't use it for production) or not?
> Pro: when we decide to switch to another version (let's assume MSVC 2016, just for an example) the workload of porting might 
Not be that huge.
> Con: we have to recompile libs and port blender every year (in case MS keeps this release schedule)
