Faster than what? Assembly, LISP, Basic, FORTRAN, COBOL, etc.?

Yes, one can write a program in C++ to create Windows applications on
different platforms, provided that those platforms support windowing.

Probably, but ask in a Microsoft newsgroup. See the welcome.txt
link below.

The usage of C++ is only limited to the platforms that have a
compiler for it. C++ can be used for vending machine applications,
VCRs, Dishwashers, and tape drives. Windows are not the only
platform in the world.

Depends on the Windows operating system and the other applications
that it is executing. A real-time program can be written in any
language. The operating system doesn't care what language the
program was written in. The operating system is responsible
for executing programs in a timely fashion. The program is
responsible for accomplishing tasks within the time limits.
