Re: vtable issue

It seems that MS was going to dump c++ completely
in favor of .NET ... and one could believe they
know what they're doing - if only they were able to
convincingly demonstrate this. For example,with a
decent search engine, or something else cool:(

The last one used to be on MSDN, but I can't find it right now.

Actually, it's a shame that MSDN doesn't list it. I just cannot
understand their policy about articles. Articles like this one by
Jan Gray are pure gold. People hunt them all over the internet,
from Google cache and whatnot. While MSDN site removes them.

At the same time they retain some VB2.0 workarounds for Windows 3.11, which don't make any sense nowadays. I remember there were other articles like Jan Gray's one that explained common programming patterns useful with Windows (like using C++ classes to encapsulate window procedure etc.). All these articles are silently gone over the last 5 years.

I won't say a word about MSDN search. Because it's beyond any decent words.
