Do we gain something by compiling with the latest toolchain? Aren't we shuttig down windows 2000 arbitrarily?
Not arbitrarily. Windows 2000 support has already been discontinued by Microsoft so it's highly unsafe to use. Security issues are not being fixed. Most recent software doesn't support Windows 2000.
The main reason I used MSVC 2010 when porting all the new dependencies to Windows is because it would take a lot of time to upgrade everything to 2010 later. This would have been necessary soon when 2008 is no longer available.
