Because when VC++ Express was released, MS intended it for
.NET and simple C++ program development. MS had in mind
students and hobbyists as the primary target audience of
VC++ Express. Afterwards, due to high popularity of the
product MS published a workaround for other application
types. However, it was already discovered by numerous
enthusiasts, as well.
