Yes, that's fair for the PC (I was aware of this for the PC, which is why I said exceptions don't really matter on the PC). But (from memory) I don't believe the Xbox allows for this, even though it uses a very similar variant of the same compiler. It's a moot point, though, for all the other reasons I mentioned. When you've got a cross-platform codebase - and there are precious few platform-exclusive codebases these days - it is far easier to turn exceptions off across the board than deal with individual platform's quirks.
