One reason Sorry but you must live in another planet :) All the C++ code I've seen are so full of bugs that I'm not inclined to buy that! Ok it *may* be possible but how many C++ programmers are *good* enough and *wise* enough to achieve that ? That's the real question to me, and from where I stand this is close to 0% !
