Hey, I've been thinking about learning C/C++. I would have assumed that MFC would be the way to go when making windows programs, since it's the later of the choices... however, I've read books (well, a book) which say it's better to use the Platform SDK.
Furthermore, after looking at simple code for them, MFC scares me

There wasn't even a main() or WinMain(), and it ran... that just seems wrong, somehow...
