- Uh, Microsoft has used MFC in some the applications that ship with Win95
- (e.g WordPad). A haven't botherd to look at MFC too much, but isn't MFC
- just a (easy to use and portable) wrapper around the Win(32) API ? I
- don't understand how they could have written the GUI with it, plain C++
- with assembly language gives much better performance.
