I am annoyed that people have to install the .net framework to use applications developed with a new microsoft language. I think it would be ok if windows came packages with it but nearly all of my MSN contacts dont have it installed.

Anyway I want to know if I make a program with VC++.net will they need the .net framework installed like they do for the new VB and C#?

No, if you don't touch Managed C++, and use the old (not necessarily old, it's still getting updated) ATL, MFC blah balh libraries. Hopper is coded with Visual Studio .Net 2003 in Visual C++ using MFC 7.1, and it does not require .net framework redistributable to be installed. I believe Plus! itself is coded with Visual Studio .Net in VC++ too , and it doesn't either
