C is a much simpler language than C++, with fewer keywords. The resultant machine code maps very closely to the source code, thus C is more low level than C++, but is sufficiently abstract that even assembler language programmers can develop highly efficient code much more easily than they can with assembler alone. C++ evolved from C, but has a far greater degree of abstraction and its object-oriented programming support is ideally suited to solving highly complex problems with more complex data structures more easily but every bit as efficiently as with C. However, since C is much older, there is still a wealth of useful and highly efficient C code that can still be used by C++ programmers to this day, thus it is still worthwhile learning C even if you already know C++, as the transition to C is much easier than the transition from C to C++, unless you are familiar with object-oriented principals.

There is no such thing as 'Windows language'. C and C++ are used to write Windows programs because of their speed and flexibility, however you can use any programming language that is capable of accessing the Windows API, including Java, Pascal and BASIC.
