Re: Windows 8: how quickly will it be adopted?

One almost unrelated question, but this is the OT list, so :) Would
Microsoft implement IntelliSense for C++ or this has already been done? I
understand there aren't so many C++ developers these days (and I'm not an
every day one either) but every now and then I have to create this or that
COM component (yeah... :() and VS2010 drives me mad, especially since I'm
so used to Resharper and IntelliJ Idea which both beat IntelliSense...

Thanks,
Stoyan
