What is the future of C++?, and what is the C++0x? and is it really
going to include a standard portable libraries for GUI, networking,

Don't expect anything from new standards. Often a new standard makes
the language (any language) and the environment more complicated and
less tangible for users. Better try to understand the core concepts of
programming in general and the tried C++ idioms in particular.
Best wishes,

Well, one thing you can count for, is that some parts of boost C++
library are going to make it in.From http://www.boost.org/
We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so that Boost
libraries are suitable for eventual standardization . Ten Boost libraries are already included in the
C++ Standards Committee's Library Technical Report ( TR1) as a step toward becoming part of
a future C++ Standard. More Boost libraries are proposed for the upcoming TR2.

None of these libraries. There will be some syntactic changes to allow,
for example vector<vector<i nt>> without a space between the closing .>
characters.
You will be allowed to define a type as auto when the compiler can
deduce what type you want. So
auto myIter = myMap.find( "hello" );
instead of having to churn through templates to define the iterator.
(Ever tried it with equal_range?)
Not sure if they will allow template typedefs - they might, I know Herb
Sutter wants them.
Library additions will go include the shared_ptr and scoped_ptr from
boost. Not sure about any of their other libraries. (Others can fill me
in). Would be nice to see bind in there, although some would propose
some language changes to aid that.
That a library is not in the standard does not stop you using it. There
are loads of open-source libraries that are in common use but not
standard. And they're not all in boost.

Not that this isn't true in many cases, but unless you feel that this
applies specifically to C++0x (there is public information available on
it), I think it does a disservice to the work of the good people on the
standards committee and in working groups to dismiss it so offhandedly.
Not every new standard is about adding flashy new crap. This ain't
Java, kiddies.

Probably busy.
and what is the C++0x?
An updated standard that they hope to finish before 2010.
There are several groups working on various parts of it, see
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg...s/papers/2006/
for a bunch of proposals in various stage of processing,
and notes on how the various groups are doing.
Paper N2009 is a PDF with the draft version of the standard.
and is it really going to include a standard portable libraries
Yes, several. Filesystem, Regex and others are already accepted.
See the draft standard, and various "TR2" and "TR3" proposals
(TR for "Technical Report")
for GUI,
No, probably not.
networking,
One design was recently accepted into Boost after review. http://boost.org
Not yet released, but may be in next release (in a month or two?)
A library in Boost is often accepted as, or an influence on a later standard proposal.
But they are distinct, several Boost libraries would never go into the standard,
they're just good useful libraries.
embedded systems and so on?
See http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/18015.html
esp the "final draft" http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/TR18015.pdf
It contains several discussions on performance, and some headers that
define types (structs and enums etc) which would allow processor-specific
and other system-specific features to be described in a standard notation.
Eg endianness, bus data width, maybe some port mapping etc etc.
This would be useful both for writing drivers etc for similar but distinct systems,
and for library code - eg when processing various binary file formats.

Agree.
On the other hand we can imagine what a standard GUI library would be
like. My guess is much of a compromise since we all want (don't deny)
those fancy platform dependent sweeties, don't we?

Which major parts of GUI technology are moving so fast? Is the current
point and click widget on desktop metaphor going to be redundant. Will
we all be wearing VR suits ? Au contraire the 2D desktop widget
metaphor seems to be well established across Operating systems large
and small. In fact it is now surprisingly easy to move between
operating systems with a GUI frontend, because they all work so
similarly, as has been the case for quite a few years.

I can imagine auditioning a new program, growing disgusted with its
restricted and primitive look and feel, and rejecting it as "just another of
those crappy C++ GUIs!"
