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.

Do you have any numbers?
