 Visual Studio 9 2008
 --------------------
 
-Deprecated.  Generates Visual Studio 9 2008 project files.
-
-.. note::
-  This generator is deprecated and will be removed in a future version
-  of CMake.  It will still be possible to build with VS 9 2008 tools
-  using the :generator:`Visual Studio 14 2015` generator (or above,
-  and with VS 10 2010 also installed) with
-  :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` set to ``v90``,
-  or by using the :generator:`NMake Makefiles` generator.
-
-Platform Selection
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The default target platform name (architecture) is ``Win32``.
-
-.. versionadded:: 3.1
-  The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable may be set, perhaps
-  via the :option:`cmake -A` option, to specify a target platform
-  name (architecture).  For example:
-
-  * ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -A Win32``
-  * ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -A x64``
-  * ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -A Itanium``
-  * ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -A <WinCE-SDK>``
-    (Specify a target platform matching a Windows CE SDK name.)
-
-For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.1, one may specify
-a target platform name optionally at the end of the generator name.
-This is supported only for:
-
-``Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64``
-  Specify target platform ``x64``.
-
-``Visual Studio 9 2008 IA64``
-  Specify target platform ``Itanium``.
-
-``Visual Studio 9 2008 <WinCE-SDK>``
-  Specify target platform matching a Windows CE SDK name.
