I have used c# too and think that it is better than C++ because you have all the easy libraries at your disposal (I have used Win32 since 1997 too and hate it) and there are some new syntax changes etc. For example an array object already exists in C# and you can query it's bounds etc which you can't do in C++ unless you make one. The only bummer is the whole having to install .net on clients' machines really.
