  Are you referring to the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC)?  
  I was under the impression that these were becoming almost industry 
  standards and that people were even using them with Borland's
  C++ for Windows programming.  Could you elaborate a little on
  what the problems were?   (I have both Borland C/C++ 3.1 and 
  Microsoft C/C++ 7.0 (&SDK) installed on my manchine but I use
  only the Borland at the moment, so I found your question and 
  comments most interesting.
