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.
