We actually used 2003 at the time.

A search on the net this morning suggests concrete evidence is not easy 
to come by without actually owning and trying 2005 yourself, but I did 
come across claims that:

2005 allows C++ developers to develop non-.NET (unmanaged) applications
2003 allows VB developers to develop non-.NET, but 2005 DOES NOT!

As with any random info on the net, take these with a grain of salt...
