I would say that the difference with the MS C++ compiler compared to D 
is that there's already an existing C++ standard that MS is expected to 
follow. Most of the breaking changes seem to be related to make MS's 
implementation of C++ more compatible with the C++ standard.

Compared to D where not real standard exists. There's a least three 
separate things trying to define what D is. The D spec on dlang.org, the 
compiler (DMD) and TDPL. In most cases when there's a disagreement the 
compiler wins.
