What part of Windows is written in .Net/WPF/Silverlight?
user 曹一聪 on zhihu is curious how widely .Net is used within Windows components. Obviously an operating system component cannot depend on something that isn’t in the operating system, so nothing uses Silverlight in the desktop version Windows.

Visual Studio 2010: Class Wizard重返Visual C++… Control Shift X.
在消失4个版本之后，类向导终于重返Visual C++。新的功能：搜索现在可以部分匹配而不是从字符串开始匹配。 测试版还是存在一些问题，向导不是总能找到现存的函数，以致删除函数功能不是总有效。在打开很多文档的时候尝试打开Class Wizard会出现“value does not fall in expected range” 错误。再就是性能问题，打开的文档越多，类向导启动所需的时间就越长。
