For 99% of the typical software LOB, Web, Services etc .NET is plenty fast. Only in systems programming, embedded or number crunching do you need to drop down to C/C++. I would always develop in the...

All I know is, C++ code shared on the web looks like alien language. Much harder to utilize the community. When I look at C# sample, it just feels easy. It may also be my fault unable to translate...

I suspect, and there have been various MS comments to suggest it might happen, that there will eventually be a WinRT target for desktop (non-Metro) applications. That pretty much has to happen or...

@BitFlipper:I agree with you BitFlipper. I programmed in C/C++ for many years. The problem is that to move the language forward you go through a huge commitee. Also, you cannot undo what is...
