Looks like it's time to brush my C++ skills off

I also hear* they'll be returning to the beauty of Hungarian notation. * - I may not have actually heard this.

The rumour mill (aka the usually very reliable Mary=Jo Foley) has it that C++ is making a big comeback in Windows 8[^]. It's being renamed to WinC++. What will be interesting to see is how this compares with their rumoured strategy of offering a CLR runtime closer to the metal.

From the vague and nebulous statements made in that blog (sort of like a Microsoft marketing blurb in that), one could surmise that there will be a unified IDE in the future, which only supported XAML; a post-processing phase would then spit out (up?) the language of your choosing: C#, C++, PHP, etc. The IDE itself would be written in a highly abstract version of XAML called, of course, Turbo XAML.
Best wishes, Hans

In WinC++ you won't be allowed to use any of the C++ keywords. You will be forced to use macro's defined in the Window header file instead. However, most of the functions will have signatures that are a mix of conventions.
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

Excellent. I like emacs. Better still, let it be a command line based editor and call it vi.

I think it's pretty clever for Microsoft to omit the neccessity for the successful applicant to be able to use the debugging facilities effectively. This means that anything new in the form of tools will be equally as cripple d as they are now with stupid little falws that should never have gotten past Q/A...

OFFS. When the .Net "brand" was unveiled developers rolled their eyes. It was sheer Marketing bluster because Microsoft saw the internet getting away from them. Now that they've hitched their Development tools to the "Net" and the "Net" and "Cloud" have become viable alternatives to a Windows desktop, and now that people have begun to embrace the idea of alternative operating systems....what to MS do.. Let's stick "WIN" back into the name of our development tools to try and convince developers that the OS actually matters. I'm just glad they haven't renamed it Cloud++ I'm sill concerned 2012 might be the last release of Visual Studio before Visual Cloud, and .Net 5.0 may give way to .Cloud 1.0 I recently abandoned Windows for home use and having gone Mac I won't be going back, and I was one of those skeptics who dismissed Mac for a long time. I now only boot into Windows using VMWare if I need to run Visual Studio. If I ever replace that tool for my development needs then Windows would be gone in a heartbeat. -Rd

Nope, like I said C# in Win7 under VM Ware. But VS2010 is literally the only reason I still use Windows at all. Perhaps if I liked Java I might just use ecclipse on the Mac, I haven't tried that. I'm happy with my lot c# and win7 for work, work, mac for everything else. -Richard
