DevX interviewed Bjarne Stroustrup about C++0x, the new C++ standard that is due in 2009. Bjarne Stroustrup has classified the new features into three categories Concurrency, Libraries and Language. The changes introduced in the Concurrency makes C++ more standardized and easy to use on multi-core processors. It is good to see that some of the commonly used libraries are becoming standard (eg: unordered_maps and regex).

And note that your list includes all professional applications, ie where there are organizations behind them that put in a lot of resources (Mozilla turns over at least 50 million a year). Try constructing the same list using non-professionally supported open source, and you've find most of it is in C. The reason, its cheaper to develop in C than C++ because good C++ programmers are expensive.
