An ECMA press release from october 2003:
By standardizing the syntax and semantics of a general purpose
binding for C++ and the CLI, Ecma TG5 will provide the huge C++
developer community with a tool that enables them to easily write
applications that make full use of the CLI platform [...]
Microsoft, working together with Edison Design Group and Dinkumware,
has developed and will submit full draft specifications of a binding
of the ISO/IEC 14882 Programming Language C++ to ISO/IEC 23271
(Common Language Infrastructure) in November 2003 [...]

My interpretation is that even though Microsoft may try to steer
developers away from using Managed C++, they know that they need to
support it badly -- this ECMA standard for "bindings" will probably
replace their current set of C++ extensions.
[...] Now someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it slow
down the program quite a bit if the entire core of the program had to
be dynamically loaded from disk each time the executable was launched?
As opposed to what? have the "entire core of the program" placed in the
executable and "loaded from disk each time the executable was
launched"? ;)
