Hey I think that the C++ will surely exist for couple of years in future as a kind of native language to do some low level development where the run-time efficiency is more important than developing efficiency. But MFC might not be pretty a perfect thing, and I don't think that it is one of the best GUI developing helper amoung varieous kinds of programming language. Cheers one to two, two to three, three to everything

Well actually I think that in that era, we can basically implement part of distributed applications for most people as a widespreaded matter. Currently we run most of our softwares in local and in future we may just buy a license and run them on the server or on thounds knots of the net. One of the most covient thing is that we do not need to worry about our machine might be not powerful enough to run some softwares or game. :)
