Yes, but the next bullet on the MS site says:
C Runtime Library and the C++ Standard Library, including the Standard
Template Library. These are the same static-link libraries included
with Visual Studio.
Note the "static-link" part. I don't believe the free compiler comes
with support for building dynamically linked (to the C library)
applications, which is what Python extensions are.
