This is wrong because you have to install the runtime environment for apps compiled on vcc. Or in other words if you write an portable application - as I do - you can't use vcc.

You are wrong if you are talking about deployment:
It is the other way around. MinGW always links dynamically to the CRT (msvcrt.dll or whatever). In VC you can specify to link the CRT statically -> no particular dll dependencies at all.

I am not talking about development, I am talking about the standard user and for the standard user you have to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package if you have an application deveoped with M$VC express
AFAIK Linking the CRT statically dosn't work on the Express version of VC

Indeed, deployment.

Could you please tell me how you do this? We're here working on a plattformindepended project
(win/linux/mac) and some of us want to use VC on Windows instead of gcc (the debugger is smarter)

You should post your solution to Microsoft also. They even don't know the trick :)
