Apache :: Difference binaries VC11 and VC10 ?

I was wondering if someone could link to or detail some of the specifics of the improved binaries produced by VC11. I originally asked the question here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15524329/what-are-the-actual-differences-in-binaries-made-with-visual-studio-2012-and-vis

...but I'm not sure I'll get an answer, given the somewhat hostile comment I initially got. I'm really just curious.

Anyway, feel free to answer here or there or both Smile

Thanks!

That is actually a great question that I've often wondered about. I'm sorry those first commenters on stackoverflow were such jerks.

Anybody from Apache Lounge have any insight?

I also felt not difference not even compared to VC 2008.

To really use all that new benefits from the new VC version the code from apache would need to be changed, but in fact the windows stuff has been barely touched since 2.2 (AFAIK)
Well there is a benefit after all. apache runs well on newest Windows versions Wink
