      Yes it is http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1159&msg=2495803[^] ;P

      Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)

        I don't get it, was BCG somewhat "bought" by Microsoft ? or will BCG be the MFC "outsourced" company that will add new MFC functionalities ? will see new UI features in BCG before MS ? Or was Microsoft too "lazy" to port their own MS Office Ribbon code to a "clean" MFC architecture ?

          AFAIK, the code was taken from BCG and made more MFC-like.

          You would think it would be that simple, and that would be better for us programmers, but it's not.  :)

            At one point, I am pretty sure, someone dropped a rumour on one of the big vendors that parts of the VS IDE (toolbars, docking etc) were using BCG code. I never bothered much to find an official statement on this, am interested if anyone knows though.. I recall a quick Spy snoop showed a different windows class name (which again doesn't prove anything). Neither could I ever find the references on what was the library/root/source of continously enhanced Office command bars etc? The best pointer out there was it was some library written by MS, more likely a spin off from ATL/WTL than MFC. Couldn't find any details on that either..
