In the SDK Tools Book, chapter 1, "Compiling Applications: The C Compiler",
page 1-1, Section 1.1, "Compiling C-Language Windows Applications", it
states:

  "Microsoft Windows requires version 5.1 or later of Microsoft C, or
   version 2.0 or later of Microsoft QuickC."

In reality you will be using most of the SDK include files and libraries
and will use the MSC libraries little; you are using the compiler and
the linker and other C utilities for the SDK.
