Again, as one Microsoft C++ programmer, I can only say that my personal 
experience comparing the C7 and the Borland 3.0 products completely contradicts 
the Borland advertising claims.  Again, I encourage serious programmers
to ignore the advertising claims, and compare *product* as actually
applied to your real, actual, programming tasks.  Competitive update
policies should make it affordable for people to make these comparisons,
thus choosing the best compiler for their particular programming projects.
Again, a particular programming team has more to gain or lose from their
choice of compiler than either Borland or Microsoft.  Take some time
to learn the different products, libraries, debuggers, etc, lest you make
mistakes in your analysis.  A day or two is not sufficient to accurately perform
these analyses.
