So what did they use instead? C++ ?
- snuxoll 10y ago> So what did they use instead? C++ ? Yes, that's pretty much what the bulk of everything that comes with Windows is written in.

Using COM and AOT compilation, instead of the CLR and JIT. That is why Windows 8 eventually introduced the WinRT, which is basically the COM+ Runtime of Ext-VOS, but using .NET metadata instead of COM type libraries. The C++/CLI syntax was re-purposed for C++/CX and Windows Runtime Library became the ATL replacement for this new improved COM. .NET got improved AOT compilation story instead of NGEN, and COW was improved so that .NET could have a good story for writing and consuming WinRT components. EDIT: It isn't COW, rather RCW and CCW.
