    C will work well enough. At least it does for me. You'll have to become very familiar with the Windows API, and how to search on MSDN. . . which is what gives me the most problems. . . but I'm no good at searching for anything. . . (OT) I cannot even find the Quest (pex) company online .

    OOP Concepts is useful even if you're planning to use only C

    Need to know C++ - depends on the project... If you are going to work as a profeccional - in most cases it is not your decision what language is used in the project... So in this case - yes, you need to know C++ if you do not want to limit very strictly the work possibilities

    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

    You don't need C++ for anything in Windows.

    It just makes things a lot easier. Especially using and writing COM objects.
