Please, post any opinions to the net.  I, and I'm sure a lot of other people,
would be interested in hearing opinions on the differences between BC and MSC.
Just about all I know about these 2 products is the features each has: the
biggest feature difference is that BC 3.1 has templates, and MSC 7.0 does not.
Otherwise, the list of development utilities seems comparable: both have
integrated environments.  BC's is Windows-based; MSC's can be run from Windows,
but seems to be character-video only.  Both have Windows development class
libraries, but I've heard that MSC's is not as "thick" a layer as BC's.  Both
have source/class browsers, and execution profilers, as well as the standard
debuggers, assemblers, etc.  Both have register parameter-passing, but only
MSC has a p-code generating option.

However, not having really used either product, I can't say how WELL each one
does what it does.  That's what I'd like other yoosers' opinions on.
