"C++ has been a power programming language since it was born," says Ami Vora, Microsoft's program manager for the Visual C++ IDE in Whidbey. "Use its power for good and not for evil!"
Developers who choose C++ for a project are looking for more than Visual Basic's convenience or C#'s intimate relationship with .NET. Often, these developers are looking for performance, the ability to control very specific functions, and raw programmer productivity. Certainly, you can fine-tune an application in C++ better than in other languages.
