This doesn't have anything to do with C vs. C++, of course. > I think part of what muddies the C/C++ debate is that under > Windows C++ is generally used for larger, more complex > systems where the modularity and intelligence of classes can > be really useful.

For example, I can't imagine writing any program, of any size, where it wouldn't benefit me to use a good string class. OOP is a way of thinking about solving problems. I think a To Do List application benefits as much from good class design as any other program. > In this approach C++ has some solid benefits.
