Short version: I will be creating stand-alone applications for
Windows. Which environment will make it quicker and easier for me to
create the necessary GUI's -- Visual C++ or Visual C#?

See my blog for an explanation of when I would use either C++ or C#, based
on their strengths and weaknesses.

In your opinion, do you think that would be possible to buil some
"important" software like Office or Visual Studio or Mathematica using
C#? (...and don't require to user wait long time for app start-up or
computations.)

Thanks in advance,
MrAsm

You can write anything in C# and it is not that slow to start up. Look at Paint.NET.

I think they use native code for some critical parts.
