Thanks for replying. I had a similar experience back in the MS-DOS days still, and share the same opinion.
Turbo Pascal -> C (meh) -> C++ (great back in business!)
Even though I mostly do JVM and .NET nowadays, still enjoy playing with C++ on the side, specially for mobile OS coding.
I see dropping C support on Windows as a means to force developers to migrate to more secure languages, but of course Microsoft should do what makes business sense.
