Not quite. VS is about 50% is managed to my guess. For example, all
compilers, text editor, project system and common IDE are native C++. In
Visual Web Developer we have approximately 20-30% managed code. There is a
lot of native code that works just fine. New components are typically
managed, but existing ones usually stay native unless a major redesign is
due.
