Extract from MFC FAQ follows.  This is an old answer - anyone got an
updated list?

11.7. Does Microsoft use MFC in their products? Which ones?

There are many Microsoft apps written in MFC. Sometimes its just not
obvious... (to name a few: Bookshelf, Bob!, WordArt OLE server, Visual
C++ (of course), Win95 paint, Win95 WordPad, some portions of Win95
FAX software, some Win95 games I know of...). 

In the future, there are more apps coming out using MFC. I don't have
a way to track all of these uses, so there is certainly more that I'm
not aware of or can't remember. I don't expect Word or Excel to ever
use MFC -- they have way too much legacy code and they don't see any
customer benefit to rewriting to MFC. But my point is -- definitely
for new code, Microsoft is using MFC. Even some "old" code is taking
advantage of MFC in future versions.
