So what benefits are we going to see from c++/cli for boost and what 
negative effects would it have?
I would have thought it would use more memory. I've always found .net 
and COM for that matter virtually impossible to write readable code 
with. Making C++ more runtime is unneccesary. We (I think I speak for 
more than myself) don't want another layer between C++ and the operating 
system. We know what types were using and don't need the language to 
tell us.
On the other hand Boost's future on the Microsoft platform would be 
ensured by this move as ms are stopping supporting (alledgedly) the 
win32 api. A number of boost libraries rely on win32 api.
