I see to promote U++ is to encourage those writing mfc and jdk be converted to u++. To this end, we need a demo. A good demonstration to prove that it is not very difficult to convert mfc or jdk to u++. But, there are two questions needed to be answered:
1) is it really not difficult to convert mfc or jdk to u++?
2) is it a compiled u++ application running better than those coded in mfc and jdk?

Below is the top ten most downloaded projects in sf.net . I am wondering whether it is feasible to put U++ to a real test by selecting one project below and translate it to U++.

(http://sourceforge.net/top/topalltime.php?type=downloads)
Rank Project Downloads
1 eMule 306,676,685
2 Azureus 142,672,486
3 Ares Galaxy 98,401,852
4 BitTorrent 51,850,559
5 DC++ 44,984,511
6 Shareaza 37,593,642
7 VirtualDub 32,250,011
8 CDex 31,847,885
9 GTK+ and The GIMP installers for Windows 26,724,204
10 7-Zip

Should not be a problem, but it would be awful lot of work... (and no real fun).
