Hmm.

What I agree is confusing is tagging everything with the .Net moniker. We
sometimes get questions here as to whether Visual Studio .Net includes a
"real" C++ compiler. The truth is that it in effect includes four
compilers - C, C++ for native applications and Managed C++ and C++/CLI for
managed code.

On the other hand, it is hard to imagine an article on the new syntax not
being couched in .Net terms.

They tried going down this path. We told them that we hated it. They
listened. In fact the point can be made that things are _less_ confusing
now: the new operator is a used to allocate and initialize native objects
while gcnew is used for managed objects. Here the departure from the norm
makes the intent crystal clear.
