If it were a discussion specifically about C++, then those comments would have been warranted.

I suspect the majority of people who do Windows development do it with C/C++, but I also suspect Raymond is correct in that a significant percentage (not less than 5%) do it with languages *other* than C/C++.Will DeWitt Jr.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428374771421713311.post-38853176250941672272005-06-29T12:53:55.000-07:002005-06-29T12:53:55.000-07:00What's interesting is that, in the VS2005 help...What's interesting is that, in the VS2005 help, nearly all the examples are in VB and C#.
