I have been disucssion with some other Delphi / C programmer's and have come 
to the conlusion that it would probably be a pain. I am going to just use VB 
for the time being to do GUI stuff (since I already know it) and come up to 
speed on Visual C++ along the way. I really do hope MS answers's Borlands 
Challenge with Visual C++ some time soon. Borland has proven it can be done 
and other RAD C++ packages are available, what the heck is MicroSoft's 
problem is.  
Well, probably time to drop this thead as it is borderline off topic. 
Thanks for the feedback.
