Microsofts 'COOL'!

I wonder if it will be as simple to use as Microsoft Bob(TM). We all remember Bob(TM) don't we?

C++ is a great language, if you like complexity, and don't mind managing your own memory, and don't mind random application crashes, and don't care about portability, and don't mind rewriting other peoples class libraries to achieve reuse... but the idea of yet another C language derivative, and one tightly integrated with that pile of vomit known as 'COM' makes me think that the name COOL should be changed to PUKE ('Piles of Unintelligible KodE'). (TM).

My advice to Microsoft: Get Real. Go with Java, and do it the best you can.
