Apparently Microsoft has updated the page and removed such verbiage.
The page (last revised on October 29, 1999) now only mentions "the
C++ Standard".

Well, let's all do what I just did and fill in the little box on the
right-hand side of the article to ask where we can find a copy of the
"Visual C++ Standard".  Maybe they'll get the hint.

Microsoft admits that the lack of partial specialisation is a bug:

But I am astonished by the reference to the "Visual" C++ Standard!

Most likely some checker runs around and maps all intsances of C++ into
the product name.  Microsoft is pretty hinky about trademarks.  You'll
never see the word "Windows" by itself either.
