Borland appears to be dropping the name "Turbo" with C++.  Version 2.0 of C++
is now called "Borland C++" not "Turbo C++".  

Now to answer your question.  Many of the bugs found in Turbo C++ 1.01 are
fixed in version 2.0.  In addition, there are several new features unrelated
to the Windows support it contains.  One of the big features is the ability to
keep on disk pre-compiled versions of include files.  This saves quite a bit
on re-compile time when include files have not changes.  Also there is now a
built in assembler, as well, to handle in-line assembly code.
