MFC is dead.
It has been replaced by the framework.

No, MFC is really for native development, whereas the .NET Framework
includes its own Windows Forms packages.
You can redistribute the appropriate MFC & CRT DLLs with your app.
MFC will be incrementally enhanced in Whidbey, but most developers should
evaluate Windows Forms for new development.

Correct, MFC is not dead but as Willy notes, it is for building unmanaged
C++ GUI applications. Given .NET and the CLR's obvious productivity
enhancements in writing reliable applications in a fraction of the time,
many people are choosing .NET and WinForms to do what MFC used to do. I know
I am (as a former 10+ year C++ vetran). Chris Sells and I wrote an MSDN
article way back on transitioning from MFC to .NET and Winforms if you are
interested:

So being an MVP doesn't mean anything? Why isn't everybody else an MVP then?
