There's also one in Infoworld, August 17.

HOWEVER, I will say again (and I bitched about this before) that neither
article was, in my opinion, a *good* comparison for the purposes of pro-
fessional developers.  Concentrating on IDEs and resource tools stinks if
you gloss over code optimization (extent and flexibility), class libraries
and documentation.

I wish someone like Dr. Dobbs Journal or DOS/Windows Programmer's Journal
would do a good, *technical* review of the C/C++ compilers.  Alas, it doesn't
really seem like that's in the cards...
