Using .NET was one of the KEY things that enabled our company to get a multimillion dollar contract with Intel. Some companies want us to use C++ and we'll do that, too. It's all about keeping the customer happy and choosing the right tool for the job.
I find happiness in my wife and 2 daughters, my friends, my dog, and things like that. Generic C++ or Unix will just distract me from those things.
I appreciate your encouragement but you're very much barking up the wrong tree. I really don't care to discuss it further and would appreciate it if you would take it to another thread. Seriously.
