Finally? About time?

On a side note, I just discovered you can't search for a string containing "c++" on this forum (which is predictable, but annoying nevertheless).

I'm not really too surprised at all. "Processors and RAM all around the world breathe a collective sigh of relieve, as the wasted desktop application overhead takes a turn downward!"

As somebody in the embedded system business, this doesn't really affect me at all. Nobody in their right mind uses anything other than C or C++ here, so neither language ever really left the mainstream in my industry.

I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

VS2012 makes Intellisense a feature now! (They fixed it)
Otherwise the popular choice is Visual Assist.
