MC++ v. C++ v. C++/CLI

This is a continuation of a thread named:
Stack overflow: Correct way to define a pointer to a function?

This was an important piece of information for me. Is there a
document/website that explains the extentions to C++ used in Managed
C++.

Right now I don't know enough to know if Managed C++ is an environment
or a collection of (proprietary?) C++ language extentions.
In order for me to respond to JAL's comments, I need to get educated.

Managed Extensions for C++ are a collection of syntax and semantic
extensions to C++ supported by VC++ 2002 (7.0) and later. This is a fully
ISO conforming extension, using lots of ugly __prefixed names for new
features. Managed extensions doesn't expose everything that the .NET
platform has to offer and has not been very well accepted.

C++/CLI is, in effect, a new language based on C++. It's covered by an ECMA
standard, and is supported by VC++ 2005 (8.0). Managed extensions are also
supported by 8.0, but it's likely that this support will be removed in some
future version.
