Yes.  "Don't buy version x.0 of *anything* from Microsoft".

If you're going to buy a Microsoft product, wait until at least
version x.1 (if you don't believe me, check out DOS 3.0, DOS 4.0, Microsoft
C 4.0, etc etc)

Personally, I'm *very* happy with Turbo C 2.0, and have no plans to use
anything else.
