While we wait for my Groktalk to appear (editing is really hard and timeconsuming and Scott is a hero) I have been getting a few requests for “the seven things C++ has that C#” doesn't.

• Can generate native code and work with native types from other libraries
• C++ interop – the fastest and easiest
• Templates and generics
• Deterministic destruction
  • my absolute favourite, I must say
• Optimized MSIL
• PGO for native and managed code
• .NET Linking (from within the IDE)
  

I will try to do individual blogs on these when I can. In the meantime, you can peruse the deck and remember, it's for a ten minute talk: Why Cpp.ppt (94 KB).
