What to learn first: .net, win32 or MFC?

[stirredo]

I have just "finished" learning C. By finished, I mean I have learned all the basics in plain vanilla C (command prompt style).

I want to get into windows developement so that i can create something useful.

What should be my next step?

Should i be learning a object oriented language like c++ and then learn .net or MFC?

Or just start learning win32 api?

If i write applications in .net framework, that means every user of that application need to have .net installed on their computer, right? So is win32 api the only way to write applications native to windows?

Is MFC an old way of writing apllications?

Happy to listen to any advice you give me.

Using MFC you write native applications too. Or you can choose some thid-party c++ framework and build a native application with it. Availability of .net framework, imho, is not a problem. Yes, MFC is old and Microsoft is pushing .net instead.
