- Dear C/C++ programmers,
-
- I have used Borland C++ V4.5 for over a year and I only
- have one thing to say about it: No way. I love Borland
- products and I am not a Borland-basher, but MicroSoft has been in the
- business of writing compilers for as long as I remember having
- MicroSoft COBOL! MicroSoft products are standard and I hate to say it
- - but Visual C++ is my cup of tea. I looked into Symantec C++ V7.22,
- but I don't
- need high compiler rates on my computer - just a STANDARD that is
- widely used and recognized (otherwise buy Watcom compilers).
-
- Tell me - Do you think Borland C++ V4.5/5.0 is worth the money or do
- you think Visual C++ V4.0 is the way to go? Please leave some
- CONCRETE facts!!!!

- By the way, I believe that since Microsoft Foundation Classes and
- Visual C++ is used by Kris Jamsa and other great "leaders" in the C++
- market, why burn up my dollar bills on Borland C++ V5.0 (remember
- GEOWORKS and DEC Dr. Dos V6.0)???
