According to Microsoft blogs and documents, I am positive on what I saw at
the April 2004 Global MVP Summit would appear in Orcas. But I can not
disclose details more than Microsoft do on this under the Microsoft MVP
Non-Disclosure Agreement. You might find this MSDN article useful:
MFC: Visual Studio 2005 and Beyond

......
Looking beyond Visual Studio 2005, C++ developers should expect deepened
integration between MFC and the .NET framework. After the release of Windows
Longhorn, Microsoft intends to add MFC support for key Longhorn APIs and
features. Microsoft also intends to support the Avalon user interface
framework in MFC, providing MFC developers with a bridge to the future of
platform user interface design. In essence, as the platform evolves,
developers can look forward to seeing MFC updated to leverage the latest
managed and native APIs and frameworks.
MFC developers have access to more frameworks than any other type of
developer on the platform. As such, MFC developers are free to leverage the
best from all worlds as it makes business and technological sense to do so.
Microsoft fully expects to support this capability into the foreseeable
future.

I picked up the rumor that MFC is going to get enhancements for windows
vista. Is there anything known up to this point what changes we will see
in MFC 9 ("Orcas"). IF we will see changes for Vista we will see them in
Orcas, right? The Windows Vista SDK introduces tons of new win32-style
APIs but nothing has been done for MFC yet. Where can I get any more
info on Microsoft future plans for MFC ?
