disagrees with you. Please justify your claim.

Furthermore, .NET needs to not just be able to express RAII idioms, but be able to do so better than C++ in order to back this claim: "C++'s OOP usage I say its fundamentally flawed."

No. I mean what if you want some classes to collect their garbage automatically, and others that I want to collect explicitly?

Fine. Look here:

If you meant there were multiple ways to do OOP, you would say "Just that C++ doesn't do any of them well".

That is of course a challenge for us to find one thing OOP that C++ does well. I've already suggested RAII and object-specific garbage collection. If you manage to find some language that can do either of these better than C++, I can probably come up with more things.
