- Haven't you pretty much decided on Microsoft by going this route? The

- may support it now, but in the future, Microsoft can change MFC to
- break that support if it decides to put the other companies out of
- business, gets mad at them, or something. MFC was originally founded on
- non-standard C++ language extensions, after all. If these are
- mission critical applications that will have to be modifed in the
- future, you almost have to go with Visual C++.
