Microsoft has been firing UI, data access, etc. toolkits at people for the past 30 years. Every 10 or 15 years there's an actually important one that people will end up using. You can't always know which one straight away, but basically that's Win32+MFC and then WinForms for GUI. And Qt, although that's not from MS.
