".NET" the marketing name for a proprietary Microsoft class library and (for
C++) some proprietary language extensions, among other things (not relevant
here). There is no reason to use that proprietary class library and those
language extensions in any software other than locking it to Microsoft
operating systems. C++ is more than capable to provide a higher-quality and
international standard-conforming implementation that is fully portable.
