Until the Visual Studio IDE is written in .NET, I wouldn't call either MFC
or COM redheaded stepchilds. The VS IDE is one huge COM application.

DHarry,

WinFX runs on .NET 2.0, so if MS continues to support WinFX, MS will
continue to support .NET. Also, MS continues to support MFC, even
though it's now the red-headed stepchild to .NET.

Will .NET go away? I doubt it. As evidence, I offer the following.

Have you ever heard of singularity? Check it out:

That's right... Microsoft tried to write an OS in .NET, and from what
I've read, did a fairly decent job of it. .NET isn't going away anytime
soon -- although I wish the name would.
