It is still possible to create "normal" C++ applications that don't need the
.Net framework and I also think that MS improved quality of generated code some.
The downside is that the profiler is left out, and I need one!

Regarding wether .Net offers anything to the enduser for apps not needing
network capabilities I'd say no, anything that .Net offers CAN be done without
the framework, but for many applications it is far easier to do in C# with .Net.
Even for a simple GUI application with some basic data handling it really save
lots of time. I've always been a C++ programmer, but C# and .Net really rocks
for most projects where execution performance is anything less than critical.

I think that my final project ever in C++ will be my next chess engine,
everything else will be C#.
