Linux doesn't use VS, we use plain old gcc with the makefiles we have. While all the Windows users were confused about all the recent project changes, nothing changed for us Linux folk. Just ran 'make' as usual and were done with it.

This also confused me a bit:
-What parts of the EMU do or don't work? (like queryserv requires 12 and therfore lfguild doesn't work)

5.10, 5.12, and 5.14 are all Perl versions and have nothing to do with queryserv at all, it doesn't even depend on Perl.

Might be blind but don't think OP was about which OS is better.
Pretty funny how you write:

But I don't remember seeing you write anything useful in any of the threads where windows users were having issues.

The question was whether it was better to use VS in Windows or Linux. Obviously, Linux doesn't use VS so all of his questions that steam from recent changes that confused Windows users do not apply to Linux.

I never made mention to which OS system is better. However, if I was going to, I wouldn't use the recent confusion regarding VS configuration as a con against Windows. In this case the problems were more project specific, rather than being reminiscent of the OS as a whole.

Really, my comment was no more than a harmless tongue in cheek poking at Windows users for their recent troubles, while also providing information that since Linux does not use VS, there is no point mentioning it in a thread about VS configurations.
