I may be confused here, but C++ is not a Microsoft language.

C# is similar to Java with some of the C++ crap put back into it, like
operator overloading and the goto operation.

VB is BASIC, and while it's a very nice BASIC, it's still BASIC.  I have
problems using BASIC for production programming, but that's me.

And the win32 API, well, I worked with Windows APIs for years, and I've
never seen a worse API.  But that's just my judgment.
