visual studio 7?? you mean 8, maybe? 7 was released a lot of time ago.

Is (V)C++, Visual C++? If it is what is (V)C++?

old doesn't mean bad...

Obsolete does... How can you make programs (and I'm talking about "real life programs", yesterday I saw an ad on the newspaper asking for VB programmers...) in a language that is dead? But anyone could see this happening, VB wasn't a real programming language and it sucked.

See Delphi, it's easy to use and powerful... With Delphi 2005 you can keep programming in Win32 and port your existing Win32 programs to .NET easily (I don't like .NET so I'll keep using Win32). Only problem is the IDE which still needs work (altough Update 3 seems to work better).

With "(V)C++", Cookie means "C++ or VC++" (and of course, VC++ is Visual C++, Microsoft's C++)

VB is far from dead! As a matter of fact is is very much alive...

That's also true with VB and VC...

(and for all the languages: MS says porting from win32 to .NET is easy, this is true for small and not complicated programs. For bigger and more complicated programs, porting to .NET breaks many things and is not so easy at all.)

Yeah, people still use it, but I meant MS won't update anymore, so it's dead.

Yes, but with Delphi 2005, I can open a Win32 project as a .NET one, hit CTRL+F9 (compile), and done, now it's .NET. Yes, some Win32 API calls should be replaced, but if you used standard VCL controls, then you don't have to change anything.

yes, but that is not a Delphi feature, that is the same in all languages.
