Am I the only one who read "WinC++" as "wince"?
- mahmud 15y agoMicrosoft actually had a product called WinCE.
- RuadhanMc 15y agoWinC++ is a pretty average name. What was wrong with Visual C++? Seems like a pointless change which they will probably waste a few million on.
- marshray 15y agoI always thought "Visual C++" was a dumb name because there's nothing more or less "visual" about it than the other tools at the time. C++ is a text-based language, by definition, and a chainsaw by metaphor. If you approach it like it's some kind of drag-and-drop finger paint set, you will surely encounter misery. But don't listen to me. It's not like I've ever named a $B+ product line. :-)
- RuadhanMc 15y agoWell that is a fair point. It is a bit annoying how Microsoft tries to fit groups of products under the same umbrella even when they do not necessarily fit together. I have grave fears for Skype.
