The Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack extends the VC++ Libraries shipped with Visual Studio 2008. The VC++ 2008 MFC libraries have been extended to support creation of applications that have: * Office Ribbon style interface * Office 2007, Office 2003 and Office XP look and feel * Modern Visual Studio-style docking toolbars and panes * Fully customizable toolbars and menus * A rich set of advanced GUI controls * Advanced MDI tabs and groups * And much more! This feature pack also includes an implementation of TR1. Portions of TR1 are scheduled for adoption in the upcoming C++0x standard as the first major addition to the ISO 2003 standard C++ library. Our implementation includes a number of important features such as: * Smart pointers * Regular expression parsing * New containers (tuple, array, unordered set, etc) * Sophisticated random number generators * Polymorphic function wrappers * Type traits * And more!

But there's no "Feature Pack" for C# or .Net? Seems strange that their new framework didn't gain things like the Ribbon control while the old framework did.
Nah. C# will get the new win32 parts the same was as it gets everything else behind the scenes. p/invoking the native API. :rolleyes:
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop. -- Matthew Faithfull

The feature pack works great. I was seriously thinking about porting it to C#. Is anyone else interested?
