Leave it to M$ to depricate standard functions in lieu of their own functions. Whether their reasoning is sound is immaterial. They should not ignore the standards because they don't like them.

I despise this "compiler specific code" because of the arrogance. They can add the functions -- no problem there -- but to deprecate the Standard takes it too far.

The problem with the string functions is they make it easy to overflow your string buffer. In some ways they are as dangerous as gets() and scanf("%s"...), but they are under control of the programmer, not the user. Any programmer worth his salt can handle this without difficulty.

No. What type of project are you trying to create?

Edit:
Googling gave me this.

The key to eliminating bugs from your code is learning from your mistakes.
