I am planning on trying to learn how to program using MFC, and figured that using microsoft visual studio 6.x would be perfect. I attend a university, and checked with them, and I can only get a copy of visual studio .NET... I am unsure if I get a copy of that, that I can do some MFC programming.

Thank you in advance

MFC is still supported in VS.NET; searching MS or Google will quickly verify this.
 
You'd be better off using .net. The 6.0 compiler isnt completely up to ANSI spec and is a bit shady in other areas as well.
 
You're better off going with visual studio .NET for the simple fact you do not want to get use to the older IDE. I've been using 6.0 for a very long time and I'm still having a lot of difficulty breaking my old habits. Some of the menu's and such have change in the IDE but the MFC coding is still the same. The only difficulty you might run into is if you are using an older text book or tutorial.

And even then, it's pretty easy to figure out where what you're looking for went to, or at least find it somewhere. I prefer .net, myself. I was more than happy to get rid of 6 :)
 
.NET is a heck of a lot easier to learn than plain MFC.

Although MFC can be fun...
