Is the MFC dead

If they did the same as they did for VC2005, the MFCs are not included in the express edition. You have to buy the standard edition in order to have the MFC's.

That has probably been the case since about 2002/2003. MFC still has a pulse but they have beaten it down pretty hard. We still use it for standalone apps as it has the most flexible structure and you get the sourcecode so you can tweak the MFC code out of tight spots. If you buy the Professional Edition of Visual Studio 2008 and download the Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack, you will find MFC has support for some new goodies like Office ribbons and the docking bars have gotten pretty advanced.
