What percent from the windows applications are written in C++?

[Salamandur 7]

Hello all,
Does anyone have an idea what percent(not exactly) from the windows
applications are written in C++ , what in Pascal(Delphi) and what in
Visual Basic?
It's maybe the C++ in which most programs are distributed but I am not
sure...

Thanks alot!

You forgot to list C. As far as I know, Office 2000 was mostly written in C.
Did they port it to C++ in the meantime? Also most of the VisualStudio
compiler algorithms were coded in C (not C++). In the meantime, I assume
it's a mix mainly of C and C++.

It depends on what sort of applications you are talking about. If it is
large desktop applications (Office, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, AutoCad etc.),
then it is almost all C++. If it is small apps (particularly in-house
stuff), then Visual Basic would be more popular, though C# is rapidly
growing in popularity. Then there is web stuff, where both Java and C# are
popular...then there are hardware drivers...
