C++ does feel like a new language. If you just buy Stroustrup's new book and read through the "tour of C++" towards the beginning, you'll find lots of new bits without having to read the entire book (although I am still going to try and do that). For me, I am constrained by the compilers that are used by my employers (VC10) so I can't use half of the new features (although I could use them in Xcode and macro them out I suppose).
