  That may be true for rapidly developed in-house applications, but for
  commercial applications I think it's a ridiculous assertion.

  I believe Word and Excel are written in C++ (supported, but not =
proven, by
  the fact that both of these load msvcrt.dll when they start up). The =
Mozilla
  family of web browsers and email clients are written in C++ (they are =
open
  source). I think IE is written in C++ as well.

  In fact I would go as far as saying that most high-volume commercial =
quality
  GUI applications released in the past five years are written in C++. =
But
  that is just a hunch.
