I heard, that Windows XP was build on C++.

C is still the most used programming language and it will likely stay that way for a very long time. C++ is called C++ because it is supposed to be like the "next generation" of C. It cannot be called B for two primary reasons:\n1. It's not supposed to be an entirely separate language (well, it's supposed to be based loosely on C)\n2. B was a programming language from many years before C++. C got its name as being the logical successor to B (for BCPL).\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/C_programming_language

any visual XXX is Microsoft based.\nvisual basic, visual c++, visual Java(a flop) etc..\n\nif you are developing for microsoft based products..then learn visual c++. its powerful.\n\nIf your work is on unix, like systems programming, networks etc, then start with turbo C/C++, then you need to learn Unix C/C++ programming..

You can configure Windows XP that way.

might be becasue as u said it is windows xp

Visual C++ is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment), using it one can develop applications for Windows using C or C++ programming languages.\nWhen you use Visual C++ you end up using the C++ language, and you need to learn the language itself to become able to develop any application that is not too simple to be useful.\nVisual C++ as an IDE uses the Microsoft C/C++ compiler "cl" which is Standard C++ compliant as long as you don't use any Microsoft specific extensions especially the .NET extensions of the C++ language. This means that you can write code that can be compiled successfully using Visual C++ and some other C++ compiler like "gnu gcc".\nVisual C++ may make you life easier and helps you write code faster. As an IDE it is excellent indeed.\nThe question which is easier is not actually a valid one for as it should be clear the two things are different kinds of animals. You may ask which is easier to use if you compare Visual C++ to some other IDE like Borland's C++ Builder or like Dev-C++.\nYou can also ask which is easier to learn if you compare C++ to some other language like C#, Java, or C. Interestingly, the syntax for all these languages are similar as they all derive from C. If you measure by how much keywords and language constructs you need to learn C will be the easiest of them all, it has some 30 keywords as a whole and few constructs to learn.\nMy advice to you is separate the tool from the language if you mean to do serious programming. Programming languages are compared in terms of power, efficiency, scalability, and then ease of usage. If you are new to the field of programming learn a powerful language C or C++ first. This makes learning any other language a snap. When you have a specific project to work on you will be able to choose the language, and the tool most suitable for this project.  \nIn the sources a link to where you can download Visual C++ express edition. It is free and it is an excellent tool to help you learn C++.

Chiya is wrong\nlinux was made with C and not C++\nwindows was made with C or C++ (not sure) But not visual C\nthat seems logical Visual C can only run under windows\nso how did they use it to make windows?\n\nAbout your question C++ alone won't help you alot\nyou theoretically  u can make any program with it but it will takes you long time\nu can use Visual C to speed things up or use Qt liberary to make cross platform C++ programs\n\nC++ could be very useful when making games with it, i am talking about real games\nI think it is the best in this field but still u will need to know DirectX Or OpenGL programming with C++ to be able to make games\n\nAlso with C++ u can make program that work on both DOS and Windows\nwhile programs with other languages like VisualBasic Or VisualC can only run under windows

well truthfully it all boils down to assembler all computers use it. However most modern operating system are designed with C++ so it is a pretty strong language to learn. During my schooling I used a lot of MIPS which is a version of assembler and also lots of C++. Today in the Cooperate world I use mainly C++. Sometimes C# or variations of java. But I do recommend concentrating on C++.

windows 64 bits is faster and windows vista just add couple function and make the screen look cooler!!

If you have windows XP operating system the build in application windows movie maker lets you add those things and more and cost zero with a copy of XP

Microsoft has this article for XP. Hope this helps :)\n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/?id=316751

If you had Windows XP you wouldn't have illegal operations..

Not that I know of. I use good old C++ to do molty threading and dual core programing. I wish they would come up with one I am tired of all the extra work needed to lock resources.

Just get Windows XP, it is sooo much better

im no good with C++ but i think your missing some things at the end.

Check out the site at http://www.pscode.com - I don't do C++ but I use that site all the time for Visual BASIC stuff I work on.

c++ is a language, if you're wanting to learn the language you can go here http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ but i don't know if you can learn an entire programming language in one day.  if you're asking about an IDE (integrated development environment) which is basically a "place to write the code" and build it you can get a free one here http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html
