Good decision! :)
BTW, especially since you're working with MSVC, I recommend to use proper 
capitalization for Vc - with a lower-case c -- while Visual C++ is abbreviated 
as VC.

Probably not your fault. The basic problem is that
a) nobody really wanted to use Vc with VC yet
b) all the work I do is on and for Linux systems
c) there is no feedback from windows testers (yet), e.g. nightly builds would 
be very useful

If you're using the 0.5 release you're out of luck. I made the master branch 
compile on MSVC (on 32bit WinXP - without AVX) at some point, but it's 
probably broken again. If you take an older revision like e.g. 891aee91 you're 
chances (at least with SSE) are very good that it works.

You can download it as a tarball from gitorious:

Please report any issues you find.
