Next Version:	Visual C++ 4.0
Date Released:	1994

Visual C++ 2.0 was a full 32 bit release of Visual C++, bundled with Visual C++ 1.5 for 16 bit support. Visual C++ 2.0 was followed by 2.1 and 2.2. 2.2 was the current release at the time of Windows 95's launch, so changes between these releases was primarily focused on Windows 95 support.
