You have to wonder about Microsoft's goal with C++. Why would they not
want C++ to be best for creating Windows applications? What other kinds
of applications would they want to encourage? Perhaps they've yielded the
Windows application battle to C# and they just want to look good at the
standards meetings? Not much profit in that.

I'm afraid that's exactly their strategy. :-( They're targeting very large
ISV's with C++ now, like their own Windows team and Adobe. People like you
and me are waking up and seeing .NET is where it's at. Which is fine with
Microsoft because that's really where they control the standard, the
security story is much better with verifiable code, etc.
