Why? Just curious, but what specifically are you thinking of? The OP's question
was pretty vague, so it's hard to tell what the question was really about.

Hmmm... most Windows programs are purely event driven and therefore spend
oodles and oodles of time idle waiting for user input. If in fact most are
still written in C++ I'd say it has more to do with habit and/or tools like
Visual Studio rather than because of performance reasons.
