 I believe that that starter kit is based on C/C++ windows
API with DirectX, it comes with a VC++ compiler. You won't
be using VC++ (Visual C++) in the book, you just get the
newest version of the C++ compiler which is now basically
VC++ (it will still compile C/C++ code). Writing games in
DOS is very rewarding and very fast but quite out of date.
The games you buy from the store are generaly written in
C/C++ windows API with DirectX and maybe a little openGL. I
would advise you to keep reading your book =).
