VC *anything* should not be seen as an implementation of any standards :).

I've heard the .NET stuff is better but they've added a ton of
extensions to "managed C++" that really isn't C++ anymore.

In fact I was told they were lobbying to get that stuff into the
standard but Bjarne isn't favorable to language changes that he thinks
could be solved in libraries.
