I was at the store today and saw VC++ .net for sale for $129.99 and was about to buy it, but then I decided to see if it was worth the investment or not, which is why I'm posting this.

I currently have VC++ 6.0 Professional edition and it's what I've been using for the past 2 and a half years and it's always worked perfectly fine for me. However, I can't help but feel that I'm falling behind in the times with my 'old' compiler. So, is it worth spending the $129.99 to get .net, or should I just wait till I actually really need it (IE: for a job or something).
