As far as gaining easy access to windows features c# is far preferable.
C++ would require that you first learn the basic language and then
learn the windows environment.  The C# library subsumes a lot of that
while not providing direct access to a lot of the gritty internals.
Game wise it would depend a great deal on exactly what you want to
create.


I haven't tried it but would certainly expect vs to work on 64 bit
systems, at least releases from  vs2005 and on or so.

As for scripts, I know there is a third party script package available
but forget where I found it.  The scripts included with JAWS are for
earlier versions only if memory serves.
