Setting up for compiling

[Krater]

which versions of visual studio and the xdk do i need and/or which are the best to compile and develop xbmc?
what if i can't get the latest versions, would it be enough with vc++ 6 and xdk 4627?
for vs 2003, do i need any processor/service/whatever packs?

you need vs.net 2003 and xdk 5558 to compile xbmc.
