  does VC++ have a future given the hype of C#, winfx. and are windows api consistent enough to be comfortable. how drastic is the change between windows xp and vista in terms of api changes.

  Did you try the link I gave you previously Look at

  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/157231995X/qid=1134149284/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-6664482-4935014 n=507846&s=books&v=glance for windows programming.

  As for which type of development, it depends on what kind of applications are looking to develop. MFC is a good start or you can even try winforms. It really depends on your technical background as well.

  Of course it will. There is the C++/CLI (part of VC2005) that enables you to take advantage of the managed world.

  As for the Vista APIs VS the XP ones, the vista folks at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=120&SiteID=1 should have more details.

  See http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=107484&SiteID=1 for recommended books. If non looks enticing then the folks at the windows newsgroups at http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups should be able to suggest more books.
