C++ and windows

I am so elated to write about the field of computers. There are two things which have stolen my mind. C++ and windows are by far the two things which have astonished me. C++ is completely at home with Windows programming. Instead, they are console-based programs. The reason for this is easy to understand: Windows programs are, by their nature, large and complex. The overhead required to create even a minimal Windows skeletal program is 50 to 70 lines of code. To write Windows programs that demonstrates the features of C++ would require hundreds of lines of code each. Put simply, Windows is not an appropriate environment in which to discuss the features of a programming language.
