[...] Beyond all the formalities, I have to reduce myself to hand-waving. If you took a survey, in 2009 you will find that most people use C++ under Visual Studio.

That is the reality.
I would be quite surprised if this were true. In fact I thought that most windows development was moving to .NET and C#. It might still be the case that for shrink wrapped software, C++ windows development is still dominant, but this type of software devlopment is, AFAIK, dwarfed by in-house software development.
