Little differences

General C++ is typically refering to ANSI C++ which is the traditional flavor of C++. However, when people talk about Miscrosoft C++ they are referring to MFC(Microsoft Foundation Classes). This is a large set of C++ classes that allow easier interaction with the WIN32 API. They work together just the same rules of libraries aplies at compile and run time.

Yes. And?

Actually if I'm referring to Microsoft C++ I refer to things like the __inline and __forceinline keywords or __declspec. All of those extensions.

I refer to MFC as MFC. It's shorter than Microsoft C++ and it's unambigous.

But what's the point in your post? Misfired reply?
