Microsoft is not an Apple. Regardless, they are trying to play one on the internet. This week Microsoft announced more information on the Microsoft MarketPlace. This is a response – or reaction – to the success of the Apple Store.
When this question came up in a side conversation the Microsoft MVP summit, my initial reaction was that C++ is obviously the more mature language and that C# was a new language that was still "wet behind the ears." This conversation was with a person on the Microsoft C++ team, so the comment surprised me when they indicated that C# might actually be the more mature language.
I'm watching a video of the February Indianapolis .NET Developers Association meeting. In this meeting Mark Strawmyer is presenting on changes in C# and Visual Basic coming with the next release. To be fair, the presentations were based off of PDC presentations, so the material was a bit reused. In this blog, I will reuse part of it yet again.
